    I could be wrong, but I'd guess it's tied to how it's taxed, since if it's taxed privately then it won't be used for business and the DOE test shouldn't apply. Perhaps ring an NCT or DOE test centre?

    Yes.
    Testing requirement are based on vehicle type.
    Van is a goods vehicle, and therefore is liable to DOE every year, no matter if it's owned and used by company, sole trader, privately, or by aliens...

    Unless their principal use is the carriage of passengers, then they require an NCT.

    Just to muddy the waters :P

    If principal use of van (max 3 seats) vehicle is carrying a passengers, DOE still applies to it.
    If we are talking about vehicle which can accomodate more than 3 people, then it's not a van anymore, but passenger vehicle.

    Yep that's what I mean. It's still a van though, just not a goods vehicle.
