VAT reclaimable or not reclaimable

PC Guy writes in Financial & Legal

In Germany I notice that used cars are usually advertised as being "VAT reclaimable" or "VAT not reclaimable".

What is the difference? Why is VAT reclaimable on some vehicles but not on others? And under what circumstances is one allowed to reclaim VAT?

I have not seen this with a used car in either the UK or France, so why is this the case in Germany?
