Correct answer
A light vehicle.
Light under this classification, because its payload capacity does not exceed 3.5 tonnes. The Observatory classifies a vehicle as heavy only when both MAM exceeds 6 tonnes and payload capacity exceeds 3.5 tonnes; not exceeding either threshold makes it light. This statistical classification does not replace thresholds in other rules: a MAM above 3,500 kg remains relevant to licences, traffic rules and other obligations. It does not imply that the vehicle is a special vehicle.
