Can I use a Fiesta van for private use as well as business?

Can I use a Fiesta van for private use as well as business?

I'm looking to buy a second hand Ford Fiesta 1.5-litre van. I wanted to use it privately with some business use. Would this be okay?

Hi Barry,

There’s no issue in theory with that, but you’ll have to have the van taxed as a passenger car, not a commercial. And make sure you can insure the vehicle before you commit to buying it as we’ve heard from many people struggling to get private insurance on a van.

You might find our feature, Buying a van for private use of interest.
