Re: converting from private to commercial
 

Prestige isn't really a factor. It's engine size. And whether it's
commercial or private. It can be classed as commercial simply by blocking
the windows (painting/tinting IS NO GOOD!!), and removing the rear seats.
You can be un-employed, if you like, and still drive a "commercial" vehicle.

Re: converting from private to commercial
 

Then we have no clue what you are driving....

Over here in North America, the mid 90's 'Cherokee' is also called an XJ
or mid sized Cherokee to differentiate between the old Cherokee which
was a full sized tank. 'Limited' is a trim package...

Re: converting from private to commercial
 

You may be dealing with local interpretation of the law here. I wouldn't
claim to know anything about Ireland law. What you have stated is very much
different from what we have here. A Greyhound bus, for example, can be
re-registered as a private motor home with no mechanical changes. What
counts is the combination of commercial intent and money-making (or
money-losing) activity.

"Limited" is a trim package. XJ is the basic model type. If you can find
your VIN plate, it will have "XJ" or "ZJ" on it somewhere.
