    Can I insure my Ford Focus car-van on a regular car policy as I’m only using it as a car?

    Nope needs to be a commercial policy, as it's registered as a commercial vehicle, and commercial tax based on cc so going to be expensive.

    I had a focus van previously and for whatever bizarre reason it was taxed as a car, not a van, had to NCT it. It wasn’t mine, was a work vehicle.

    Depends on what's on the VLC. M1 category vehicle (Motor Car) if N2 (Goods Vehicle), your van must have been registered as a motor car not a goods vehicle.
