The amount of tax for post 2001 cars is variable depending on the emissions.
For goods vehicles it depends on the Revenue Weight.
For Light Goods Vehicles - those up to 3500kg Revenue Weight,
Vehicles Registered up to 1st March 2003 (+ any non Euro 4 or 5 vehicles)
Year £210, 6 months £115
Registered after 1st March 2003 - Euro 4 & 5 vehicles
Year £130, 6 months £71
So if it's a pre 2003 (or post but not Euro 4 or 5) Light Goods Vehicle,
£115 is correct.0 -

its not just worked out based on the difference though, as has been explained to you AGE has a lot to do with it
my old 1.1 corsa used to cost more than my 1.9 octavia0 -
Always best research this (as well as everything else) before you buy a vehicle, some really expensive VED costs on surprisingly humble cars.0

£90.75 is the correct 6 monthly rate for a diesel car with a CO2 emission 151 - 165 gm/km.0 -

Your scenic is not classed as light goods.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
