JivingDaddy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So, can some kind soul please confirm (or dispute) my understanding. So long as it's pre 2001, the road tax for a Defender is 205 per annum - regardless of diesel or petrol? I'm going to treat myself to a project (keeps me out from under her feet) and 'er indoors insist I don't but something that will boost the government coffers in an obscene manner. Fair enough, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yep, mines a 1989 & is £205 per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 If you scroll down in this link and read the chart, band k has an * next to it, read the note below it, and you'll see that all pre 2006 cars regardless of their emmisions have a maximum tax at the moment of £245 per year...... so its only the 4-5yr old trucks that hit the really high band........... from what i can see anyways.........

JivingDaddy Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks for your feedback. It might be worth the extra 40 quid road tax to get something a bit newer, but then it wouldn't be much of a project (possibly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JivingDaddy Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hmm. Could be all rather academic. Thanks to the Mayor of London (thanks Boris, you've lost my vote) it looks like I can scratch the project idea. It seems any Defender older than 2001 will be subject to a 100 pounds a day charge from 3 Jan 2012!! 36,500 a year to drive an old defender throughout most of the M25 boundary?! I think not. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/lez/5725.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 That do0esn;t say anything about a csw type vehicle..... NOT a commercial, which also has to adhere (i believe) to strict eu4? emmisions standards...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be paying £100 a day from April last year if it wasn't for Boris. Back to road tax, I have a 1992 and I pay £205 a year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JivingDaddy Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks for the correction JJB. Apologies to Boris then. So, it's a big thanks to Red Ken. Bless him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
