For £5 less you could have a Freelander.

It's based on several factors, depending on the year first registered (sold). They changed the rules but allowed older vehicles to be capped. So depending on year it's based on engine size, or emissions, or efficiency rating letter, or type of fool, or if it duel fool, or a mix of them.

The timing of mine is good as £225 in feb doesn't get this years change applied to it as it's just before the change is normally implemented.

Pre March 2001= cheaper road tax. .....I have a 2001 model freebie but registered on an x (2000)

Mine is late 2001. Can't remember what I paid but I is the same as my 53 MG ZS180.
Mine tax is due in May. Timing isn't bad really as it all changes in October doesn't it?

I dont think the price changes, that will still go up no doubt, you just dont get a tax disc to display any more....its all done on computer.

After March 2001 they changed the amount of road tax you pay based on emmisions.....so depending what it puts out depends on what you have to pay. ......the emmisions your car puts out is on your v5 g/kg.

my tax up end of month as it says just another TAX god help me when I put other one on road for my other half to use

Its a joke, its not about the environment, its purely TAX.

If its based on emissions, how come commercial freelanders are paying less under light goods rate as opposed to private light goods freelanders

Years back my research was in carbon neutral projects, now I say.......... pump as much C02 into the atmosphere as you want

Sure, Tax me on my carcinogenic benzene emissions, or my heavy metal outputs, but don't tax me on my carbon, as C02 is the molecule of life.

Your not wrong there As a motorbike/scooter owner having to pay more each year for vehicle's that do 65-120 mpg never sit in stop/start traffic jams or wears the road out

Think I pay 230 for the disco and 280 for my car!

Daylight robbery

£0 here.

Rip off Britain. .....
