I'm sure mine is £140 for a 130 hp 2.5

 

what year of van is that mate ?

 

If it is registered commercial (N1) then it should be £240ish per year as a light commercial. UNLESS it was registered around the end of 2009 and into 2010 for the first year or so of EURO 5 classification, in which case it will be only £140 per year. If yours is emmissions based (x g/km) as you state then it is not commercial so must be a multivan/Caravelle or possibly an early factory combi. In which case you V5C should say M1 not N1. Tax is banded based on emissions (effectively mpg), so big van-based cars are always expensive. On the plus side you will be allowed to drive at car speeds on A roads and Dual carriageways

 

Its a 2003 (53) plate so one of the very last of the t4s my V5 says M1 so I suspect it is correct at £330 a year, I queried it today with the DVLA but they said it was correct and were very helpful in explaining how it is calculated. it just seem very expensive for a vehicle that is not a massive fuel guzzler, some range rovers are less than half that in price, just doesn't seem right.

 

I am the same, spoke to DVLA and they said no chance of changing it, it's am M1 and tough pay the money.

 

Be greatful lads it 1080 private in Ireland and 333 commercial

 

I have 2002 2.5tdi and its £240, I think before 2002 its based on engine size and after its based on emissions.

 

anything before 2002, there are only two bands, below 1550 cc and above.. above is around 245 a year.. in 2003, it all changed and there are a lot of anomalies.. some paying £130 and some as much as £500..

 

Oct 07, 2.5, M1 12 months £325

 

2000 2.5 Turbo Caravelle has just cost me £265 for the year. I'll pay that and drive at 70 ;-)

 

Where can I find out how much a van has to pay in Tax?
Ive heard people talk about much higher van tax rates than £260 but can't seem to find information on how to tell what your rate is.
Im looking at buying a van but just getting info together.

I found this but it only goes up to £260.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

 

I have a 2007 shuttle 2.5 auto and mine is £545. It’s all down to the classification. It hurt me the first year I bought it as it was a disabled vehicle so they got free tax. I couldn’t check until it was reclassified to plg.

 

My 2007 t5 kombi is registered as an M1 car and emissions of 215 g/km means £325 Road tax. A few more g/km and it would be over £500!

Simple, its either M1 or N1, and the engine/emissions. Not difficult at all, ask whats on the V5.

M1 you pay more.

Also the classification dictates speed limits that apply, N1 being commercial, M1 being passenger vehicle.

There are blips but i cant recall details, theres a couple of years in the 2000's where stupidly high charges apply to M1.

 

2002 2.5tdi (88) N1 'converted' to Motor caravan with the DVLA, just paid £260 for the year (and 'normal' speed limits too)

Checking right?

262 is about right unfortunately.

 

I think it was the euro 4 compliant option... not sure but my van was reg'd 23/3/03, maybe I got it wrong..I:

 

I have a 2008 T5 174 sportline window van, classed as M1 in the log book and pay £260 a year ?

 

I stumbled upon this thread and noticed that it's been four years since the last reply. I hope you were able to find some useful information about your road tax. As for your inquiry, 208 g/km seems to be the emission rating of your car, which is used to determine the road tax amount. £330 a year may sound like a lot, but it's always good to check with other 2.5 tdi owners to compare rates. You can also use a free check stub generator to get an estimate of your expenses. I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Cheers!
