I've bought a little Vauxhall Combo van to help with a house move and a diy project.

Tax as a van is £240/yr, but as a car, is £135/yr.

Can i change that tax class as I'm not using it in any commercial capacity?

I think that's his point, he wants it classed on emissions like the car version.
Yes, car version is £135 to tax, van is £240, mine is a van, but not used in a commercial sense.

Disabled and minibuses can be changed.

I'm just being a tightwad!

Checked with DVLA, cannot change the tax class on this vehicle. It is possible on some though...who knows....

What car version? The Corsa van is the van version of a car, the combo only looks like a Corsa at the front but is not on the same chassis.
There's a version of the combo with seats and windows and carpet etc. AN MPV sort of thing.
