Its all in the careful reading of what you posted but as I said - it is not in plain english but in DVLA jargon (I did not mean YOUR jargon)
But that only applies to trailers over 750kgs. I don't think any careful reading is needed it specifically states vehicles upto 3500kgs with or without a trailer no more than 750kgs. It doesn't mention not exceeding 3500kgs until you get into trailers over 750kgs. It has seperate definitions for <750kgs trailers and >750kgs trailers.
I do see where you're coming from but i can't help feeling its being read into too much
