Correct answer
No; it may be light or heavy according to its characteristics and MAM.
No. A van’s definition concerns a motor vehicle with four or more wheels, intended for goods, with the cab integrated into the body and up to nine seats including the driver; the definition itself does not impose a 3,500 kg MAM ceiling. Vans can be light or heavy. Check the vehicle’s MAM and actual category rather than inferring them solely from its name.
