question about car tax for 4 x 4 after 2001

[Guest bigredbusa]

i cant find any info anywhere regarding the new tax banding for cars after 2001 .

 

if i use this as an example could someone enlighten me :

 

say a 2002 -03 plate freelander TD4 , it is currently £185 / £195 a year for tax , how much will it be when the new banding comes in ?

i wouldnt even know what the co2 emmisions would be for something like that .

 

IS THERE ANYWHERE THAT HAS BLACK AND WHITE FIGURES AS THIS IS PUTTING ME OFF GETTING ANYTHING LATER THEN A 2001

Lots of info on www.dvla.gov.uk and also fifthgear.five.tv

Their is now about 13 tax bands, well from next year anyway. They have done away with the diesel extra £10 or so.

It's nothing to do with 4x4, or petrol versus diesel,just the emissions. There are some heavy emission large saloons as well as 4x4. Auto box models usually score worse than manual. You can find any emissions spec on dvla and calculate the tax coming soon. 5th gear also have a calculator but you need to know your emissions first.

I'm a bit confused as to what catagory my 02 Navara comes under? I looked on the link above and its not listed. I'm f****d if I know what the CO2 emisions are on the D22 Navara? .....

Do Nissan no longer make the Navara? I thought they did, but the DVLA tax calculator shows only current new models apparently.

The 3-litre Patrol for instance is 288 grm/km and gets a £400 tax bill. If you look on your registration document it may be on there, it is on newer ones anyway. Maybe Navara comes under commercial vehicle conditions as it's a pick up? I'll keep looking.

Nice one Geoff cheers ...

 

I'm pretty sure they still make the Navara but I'm Buggered if I can find it anywhere listing CO2 levels....

Jasper, I have found a 2005 test on a Navara which quotes 226 grms/km. This works out at (gulp!) £415 per year if the 5th gear calculator is right.

Now that applies to a car with those emissions, the Navara is classed as a commercial for business user tax, so maybe different rules apply?

its a disgrace its just a con by our goverment to hit people with tax that is all it is plain and simple.

brown go's on about protecting the eath yet he himself drives round in these big sports saloon cars ?

 

and you see him having a 1.1 engine no BUT WHAT REALLY GETS TO ME ABOUT IT IS OUR ROAD TAX IS ONE IF NOT THE MOST DEAR IN EUROPE YET THE MONEY ISNT SPENT ON THE ROADS TO BE FIXED

 

THE ROADS ROUND MY WAY ARE A SHITHOLE THEN THEY COME ALONG AND USE THAT CRAPPY CHEAP CHIPPINGS TO FIX IT THEY LAST ALL OF A YEAR AND THE HOLES ARE BACK.

 

so it go's to show if the money was spent on what they say it is spent on ! we should have the best roads in europe

but are they no there not even in the top 5. so what do they do with all this money on car tax

[Guest bigredbusa]

so goes to show that no one is really sure what the new law is . i just dont want to buy a 2003 motor and get clumped witha £400 tax bill!!

 

i heard different stories that the tax will only apply to new motors then i hear pre 2001 the tax doesnt change. it's all bollox

That appears to be right Antg. For road tax purposes, the Navara is classed as a LGV and is £180 per year to tax. I have done a fair old search on this and £180 comes up time and again. If it was emissions based, it would be the £400 rate like the Patrol etc.

The only info to conflict with this was on a Bodytorque or something, road test. They said a 2008 model bought now, would would be £300 this year and £400 from next april. They were quoting the emissions figures though, and I think they had forgotten it was a LGV? So BRBusa, it looks like you will be ok at £180-ish if you buy the D22 model which goes up to 2005 I think.

Thats would be good news for me Geoff cheers for the info . I was thinking of getting rid of it for a Proton or a Hyundai , but now it looks like my bacon has been saved....
