    Incidentally, you might like to read this article which includes inter alia:

    Thus for a vehicle to be classed as a van it must have a purpose other than for carrying passengers. It should therefore have a significant load bay to carry goods such that the carrying of passengers can no longer be the main purpose. A car boot will not count.

    And that load bay must not have windows either. So the cavernous rear of Lovejoy’s Volvo Estate, with the seats permanently folded down and habitually filled to the roof-lining with antiques, would not be enough to make it a van, even if the rear seats were removed.
    Thank you - useful - why should I be surprised that the HMRC definition is different from the DVLA definition!
