Correct answer
No, carrying people does not by itself change that classification.
No. Annex II of the General Vehicle Regulations defines an adaptable mixed-use vehicle as carrying goods and people, simultaneously or otherwise, with a maximum of nine seats including the driver. A bus or coach has more than nine seats including the driver and is built and equipped for people and luggage. Carrying people does not by itself change the classification. There is also a separate mixed-use bus or coach category for passengers and goods; it is distinct from the adaptable mixed-use vehicle in this question.
