Who can tell since we don't know what the car is. But this may help.
The answer is most probably yes.

If the original list price was over £40k you'll pay the higher tax for 5 years, and that limit hasn't ever changed since they introduced it

Or, from 1/4/2026, £50K for EVs.

Yes, the Expensive Car Tax is £440 on top of the £200 flat rate tax, so £640 total.
You pay the £440 for 5 years from the second time it is taxed, and as you have to tax it when the keeper changes the 5 years start then.
I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
