Car o’ van?
Can you explain why a VW Caravelle falls into a Car taxation bracket and therefore high VED banding when they are a derivative of the Transporter that is a PLG class and has the much lower road tax. Incidentally the CO2 emission at MOT was much less than on the V5 and would naturally incur less road tax.

Yes. VW had the T5 Caravelle classified as a car so it could be driven at 70 rather than 60 on dual carriageways and 60 rather than 50 on single carriageway A roads. All before CO2 based taxation.
