Key legal question
Whether transporting scrap cars on dealer plates falls within Art. 24(4)(a) VVV as transport of vehicle parts for repairs or conversions in the operator's own business.
Extracted holding
No. Whole vehicles are not vehicle parts, and the transport was not a permitted goods transport under Art. 24(4)(a) VVV even if some parts were later reused.
Extracted reasoning
The wording and purpose of Art. 24(4)(a) VVV require transport of parts as such, linked to concrete repair or conversion tasks. A vehicle, even a scrap car, is not a vehicle part. Art. 24(4)(c) shows that vehicle transports are only allowed in the specific cases expressly listed. The rule is to be interpreted restrictively because dealer plates avoid the heavy-vehicle levy.
