Quite true, but the info I have was generated by foi requests to dvla and vosa so it is correct to refer to it as such.

Would collecting a car where no money was charged to pick a disabled car to repair be recovery and it's not goods, as I'm not selling the car?

Also from vosa
Recovery vehicles
Schedule 3 to the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations 1995, lists the categories of goods vehicle that are exempt from operator licensing. Schedule 3 para (27) prescribes that a recovery vehicle is exempt from the requirementforanoperatorslicencetobeheld.A recoveryvehicle isdefinedin Part V of Schedule 1 to the Vehicle and Excise and Registration Act 1994, as; a vehicle which is constructed or permanently adapted primarily for any one of the purposes of lifting, towing and transporting a disabled vehicle .
The 1994 Act does not give a definition of disabled . In our view it should be givenitsordinarymeaning renderedincapableofactionoruse (OxfordEnglish Dictionary).
Therefore, if the vehicle will be used exclusively for the removal of a disabled vehicle either from a place where it became disabled to a place where it is to be repaired or scrapped; or, from premises to which it was taken for repair to other premises at which it is to be repaired or scrapped, this would meet the criteria for recovery and an operator s licence will not be required.
So I wouldn't be able to move running cars but none of my cars run they are been recovered and then customer collects.
I'm waiting for reply to my email before I jump to any decisions on selling the van for a 4x4 most likely a Range Rover eek:
