For whatever reason a company car costs the user more in tax than a company van. I'd argue for a different regime where a car that's a tool for the job rather than part of a 'benefit package' gets treated in same way as a van but that's not where we are.
Given the difference I suspect that HMRC have a 'little list' of vans that have, for example, a second row of seats and might be used like cars. Various VW models including the example here and the smaller Golf like Combi would be on that list. The latter, excepting the absence of a third set of windows is very similar to my Berlingo Multispace.
I suspect the Vauxhall vans were picked up as collateral damage for the employees.
