How much car tax do you pay?

Yep.

But, it's a banger. ERGO I don't tax it for more than six months at a time, because it might just have a catastrophic failure of some description.

You can cash any unexpired months of a tax disc in for any reason, and get a full refund. Except you don't get back the 10% premium you pay for a six month disc.

£280 /12 months for my 2001 Audi A8

3.7 Litre Petrol, 298 g/km, registered 1st Match 2001 so despite the high emissions is taxed as band K

Should be £260 a year Land Rover Freelander 2.

But NIL tax as it is classed as a disability vehicle.

That's a false economy. The immediate issue is that the 6 month disc costs more. But you lose again when getting rid:

When the car is disposed, you would apply for a refund on the tax disc whether 6 or 12 months. However a 6 month disc is refunded at the cheaper 12 month rate.
