smo Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Having not been around for a while i'm a little out of touch with the "basics". Can anyone enlighten me as to the current VED rates for defenders?? Is it the same for a 200tdi as a TD5, are truck cabs any different to Station wagons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetyduck Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I think pre 2001 are £185 - £210 i think. and after 2001 they are £400 ish and a brand new 2010 are £900 ish thats if i understand the rules...which i probably don't http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524 http://www.car-emissions.com/cars/model/LAND+ROVER/Defender+Station+Wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hmm, that government page is great if you know the VED band.....which i dont!

Disco-Ron Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Depejnds what the vehicle is registered as i guess.......... most are 'private light goods'.. ie, car.... but best check the V5 to clarify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a cap on VED class for 2001-2006 Defenders - as you suggest, about £260/year. It depends on the original registration as to whether a pre-2011 Defender is a car or a van - you are looking for a letter 'N' or 'M' on the V5. If it is an M then it is a car and cannot be changed.

Retroanaconda Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I heard that new Defenders in the last year or so are back down to £200-and-something as they're re-classifying them as commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSG Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Mine is £210 per year. Which is a lot better than the 2007 was at £400 plus That's for for a 2011 11 plate 110. All 2011 models were reclasified as Light Utility by Landrover. Category N on the V5 as said previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Do i take it getting a vehicle reclassified is a non-starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSG Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Nigh on impossible to get the DVLA to reclassify from what I hear I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Ok, thanks, i shall bear that in mind. I have seen a rather lovely Puma engined truck cab which takes my fancy, but then i think how little i will use it and what i actually want it for and it seems like an awful lot of money on a "toy"!!!

GBMUD Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Do i take it getting a vehicle reclassified is a non-starter? I tried it with my 2004 110 Td5 SW classed as 'M' (diesel car) on the V5. The paperwork all went easily in the DVLA local office but a few days later I got a letter saying that they would not do it, cancelling my tax and telling me to re-tax it as a diesel car. This was followed by a period where they would not give me a V5 in any category despite my having re-taxed it as 'Diesel Car'. A truck cab will be £210/year (for now!) as it will be classified an 'N' (commercial) for tax purposes. This would appear to continue to be the case even if it became a CSW later in life...

MJIbex Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 To start with nothing has fundementally changed in the last few years with regards to the overall rates - apart from showroom tax (only applicable on brand new cars amd build into RRP - and the reclassification of all 2011 Model year vehicles. Defenders registered upto 22nd March 2006 - no major variations in road tax rate (all £195ish - £245ish). Defenders registered on/after 23rd March 2006:- 1st you need to know what body type your Defender is - in simple terms (if pre 2011 model year) if it was a factory hard top, pick-up , utility station wagon or double cab pick-up it would be a commercial in terms of road tax, if it was a station wagon it would attract the higher tax rate. This would mean Station wagon around £445 per year to tax others £210 to tax. All variation of 2011MY onwards are £210 to tax as all reclassified as N1 commercial. The £950 only applied to 1st year tax on new station wagons (pre 2011MY - not subsequent annual re-taxing - so no-one will ever have to pay this on any Defender they buy now - absolute max is £445). So SMO - the truck cab you have seen will be £210 per annum if registered on/after 23rd March 2006 about £195 if registered before. Regards Mark.
