You do 'self certify', but there is a list of requirements here:

And you will need to provide photos at least.

Police nor MoT staff would be worried about the level of conversion to meet the DVLA requirements as you say these are designed to stop people classing a panel van as a motorcaravan and getting cheap insurance. MoT are only worried about safety aspects and police are only worried that you have 3rd party insurance and MoT certificates!

Yes the AFT or any pop-up would count as a sleeping area.
