Wanting to buy a Mitsubishi L200 for private use.
1: Do I have to insure it commercially or private?

Hi Michael,
You only need to show proof of business use if you’re taxing it purely as a commercial vehicle. If you’re taxing it for private use, then all you have to do is let the local motor tax office know, and they’ll shift you to the old by-engine-capacity tax system. As for insurance, just talk to your insurer or broker and they’ll get your sorted.
