How to change pick-up to private?

Hi,

I have a 2001 Iveco pick-up; how can I change it to private classification from commercial?

Thanks

Hi Michael,

You’ll need to go and talk to your local motor tax office to get it re-registered, and you’ll almost certainly end up paying more motor tax, as you’ll be taxed on the capacity of the engine. You’ll still have to put it through the Commercial Vehicles Test (CVT) every year, and don’t forget to advise your insurer of the change of use.
