Registered vans are a popular option for businesses, as they allow you to use the vehicle for business purposes. You can also opt to use your van for both personal and business purposes, which means that you can claim the percentage of expenses relating to business use.
Once you’ve purchased your van and registered it with the DVLA, you’ll need to keep accurate records of how much time it is used for personal or business purposes. This will be necessary if you want to claim any tax back on your vehicle.
There are many benefits of registered vans. They are safer, more reliable and more economical than other vehicles.
Safety
Registered vans are safer than cars because they have a high level of safety features installed by the manufacturers. These include seat belts, airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Reliability
Registered vans are very reliable because they have been designed for commercial use. They can be used for a long time without any major repairs needed. This makes them cheaper to maintain than private cars. The only maintenance required is regular servicing every few months or 6 000 km (4 000 miles) to keep them in good condition.
Economical
Van insurance costs less than car insurance because it is considered less risky to insure than a car due to its low accident rate and fewer claims made against it by owners or third parties such as pedestrians who may be injured by an uninsured driver.
Reduced costs – This is perhaps one of the biggest benefits of registering a van as a company car. If you’re using your van for business purposes, then you won’t have to pay any tax on fuel or insurance premiums because they’ll be covered by your employer. You may also receive discounts on other costs such as servicing and MOTs if these are required for business use only.
You can drive on motorways
A lot of people still think that vans aren’t allowed on motorways, but this isn’t true – most vans are allowed on motorways if they’re fitted with an MOT certificate and have a speed limiter set to 56mph or less. If you want to drive faster than 56mph on the motorway, then you’ll need to pass an enhanced driving test in order to obtain an HGV licence.
Easier to sell
If you ever want to sell your van, it will be much easier to do so if it has been officially registered. This is because when it comes to selling a vehicle, the buyer will want to be sure that they are purchasing a reliable vehicle that has been inspected and maintained properly.
