List of older cars in £30 tax bracket
Discussion
I've had an Arosa 1.4TDI. Brilliant car, easiest thing in the world to park and a surprising amount of space inside.
I sold it for more than a paid for it a year later and its still worth about the same two years after that.
I had an ECO4 too which was good and now drive a Skoda Superb Greenline that is also £30 road tax. Cheap motoring is a winner.

thought I'd update this thread, as there are three excellent cars that now fall within the remit here -
£5k can now get you a passat or octavia normal OR estate 1.6 tdi
£8k can now get you a skoda superb normal OR estate 1.6 tdi
all in the £30 bracket, cheap motoring by any measure, and these cars most importantly mark the appearance of large cars within the £30 tax affordable used cars bracket.

Not sure about a database, but my wife’s 2015 Mazda 3 (2 litre, 120PS) is £35 tax. Has to be pre-2016 to qualify I think.
I think the cut off point is 1 April 2017 as per the link below:https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables
Not terribly exciting by PH standards, but I chose an Alfa Mito Twin Air as our local runabout which is £0 VED until next April, when it becomes band B (currently £20 as mine is before the April 2017 cut off). It sounds faster than it really is, but it's quick enough for our local needs, so I'd rather not pay any more than I need to for VED and insurance. It's certainly a lot quicker than my son's 1.2 Fiesta which is now £160 a year for his lowly 60PS model.

The VAG 1.6tdi's are zero tax. Recently bought a March 2016 one, so the newest possible.
63 mpg long term average. They're sometimes criticised for lack of power, but drop a gear and rev it, it's fine up to 80.
BMW 320d is £35, 53 mpg long term average and plenty quick enough for the road.

These days you can just set those parameters and more on AT.
On top of the original criteria I'd probably add ULEZ free now and maybe increase the budget to about £5k for inflation.
There are quite a lot of cars out there. Not sure about reliability but I'd go for something like this Fiat 500.

Bet that's quite good fun with 100bhp.
