Just renewed my Road Tax

[s1962a]

On my Leaf.. and it's free. I knew this anyway, but actually getting something these days for free is quite a novelty.

So which cars get free road tax at the moment? is it only the EV's and plug in hybrids?

MAN MATHS: The real cost of free road tax is having to drive a Nissan Leaf!

I won't be afraid to admit it, but this is one of the best cars we've ever owned. I drive it daily into the city, and you just can't beat it for what it is.

I will be thinking of you when I tax my Turbo @ £500 which covers about 3,000 miles a year

With my i3 and M3 my road tax will average just £230 a year :-)

Total shocking, and I moan paying £280 for my Volvo S80.

Hadn't thought of it like that! Nice one

You are a few weeks in now Andy. How's it going?

[andywaterfall]

Very well thanks! Still loving it, still get a thrill from driving it, still enjoying the weird sensation when you first get in & pull away silently, still feeling smug as I drive past another petrol station. Just 2 weeks to go for you, yes?

[RossP]

Yes, 2 weeks today! Can't wait!

I wonder how long the cheap / free road tax will last?

The government must be losing loads as people (and companies) buy cars under with the tax under the 120 carbon level, and the revenue is still being spent

Funny you should say this, yesterday I drove thro Grimsby and noticed thousands and I do mean thousands of car waiting for delivery. They were all the 1liter Euro box that have no road tax.

All three of my V8s qualify - although I only have one on the road at present.

Not really - they jacked it up to flippery for a lot of other cars at the same time
