On top of that, insurance renewal is £552. Now 81 ,so they get us oldies every way.

Yes, my insurance has rocketed by over £100 and that's after shopping around!

So Billsy, you’d spend a few thousand on a different car to save a couple hundred on tax??

Yes we only have it for towing the caravan, hence why it will be sorned in the winter. So the mileage to tax costs is out of scale

Mine is automatic and the same £320 per year. There seems to little coherence with VED at first glance



Note the discrepancy in First Registered Date and MoT test date too… I have owned this car from long before its first ever MoT test became due and the test date has always been a month later than the registration anniversary date.

I wonder if the rising tax for cars like ours will have an effect on the px price etc of them

I doubt it. I would have thought that most of the older ones being traded-in will be going for scrap/export rather than sold on the local market. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
