Cars with cheap road tax
Hi Everyone,
Your assistance is required again.
Unfortunately my car is stuffed and I need a new one. I'm goign to use this opportunity to get a car in a lower tax band. Does anyone hav any ideas? Are there any lists out there of models in the lower tax bands for eg.
Also, it needs to be a bit more reliable than the last one, so I'm thinking Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen etc.
Thanks Everyone.

Well, I've found Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Pug 107 all at £35 and the Fiesta 1.4 TDCI.
None of them very inspiring though.DMP Mutual Support Thread Member No 19017/05/08 - Total on DMP: £10025.7007/05/14 - Total on DMP: £1666.20 DFD: July 2017!!Baby Tomos born 5th June 2009 - 6lb 5oz :jWeight Loss Target - to lose 60.8lb by NYE 2015 - 37.6lb TO GO0 -
remember not to base your selection just on the tax band0

Can you expand that please? I'm looking for something more reliable than my current car but thought I'd use the opportunity to lower the tax too.DMP Mutual Support Thread Member No 19017/05/08 - Total on DMP: £10025.7007/05/14 - Total on DMP: £1666.20 DFD: July 2017!!Baby Tomos born 5th June 2009 - 6lb 5oz :jWeight Loss Target - to lose 60.8lb by NYE 2015 - 37.6lb TO GO0

The VW BlueMotion range is tax exempt as emmisions are so low

But it's far from the cheapest car to own over time despite this, as Conor is suggesting, other cars with a modest tax charge do work out cheaper.The VW BlueMotion range is tax exempt as emmisions are so low
If you want cheap a 7 year old Nissan Micra 1.0 for £500 to £1000, 47mpg, a hundred and something for tax but who cares when you loose little in depreciation and other expenses.
If your going for new / nearly new look for the equivalent to the VW Polo BlueMotion in the Skoda range "GreenLine". Slightly heavier car so more CO2 at 104g/km which pushes it to a £35 tac disk, but cheaper to buy, cheaper all round.0 -
I have a 9 year old Toyota corolla and it cost me £125.00 for a yearLife is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?0

The Aygo/107/C1 all go down to £20 road tax next year.0
