Mine is 2002 but shown as 240. If it was 240 and 2006 it would be £700.
But, as stated, appears yours has been categorised as 205 so price hasn't increased even though it is late 2006.
Who understands HMRC !!

Mine is 2004 and showing 205g/km even though they have confirmed and accepted it is electric.
They just make it up as they go along.

I was just taking the p1ss but that is what I believed to be true.
Doesn't mean it is true, just what I believe to be.
Make zero sense
I have two 56 reg MK 1 TD 4 both around the £400
So if you have actually paid £700
I personally would be calling the “BBC” as it a blatant gross fraud and hopefully you would get a refund or i would be getting a knock on the door
Or is the case pre 06 ones are cheaper and the older ones are £400 hish
As anyone got one and paying £700 road tax ?
As anyone got a 05 one and could let us know whats the price of the road tax ?
The odds of both mine being cheaper than anyone’s is basically zero

OK. Difficult to explain without posting the HMRC page which I will try to do.
Mine is 2002 and rated 240 g/km. As a pre March 2006 it falls into the £400 tax band which is what I pay.
If it was post Mar 2006 and still rated 240 g/km it would be £700.
That was my observation. Now you have shown that a post March 2006 is rated at 205 g/km and so is in the lower tax band of £400.
Same engine so interesting.
Will try to post the page but it is clear when you see it !!
Hopefully all post March 2006 are rated as yours are.

My 54 plate F1 TD4 was around £400 (£30-something a month)Make zero sense

Here you go. Note the March 2006 note at the bottom.
Makes it clear but why a TD4 has 2 different g/km I am unsure.

So mine is a K and if post March 2006 it would be an L.
Yours is a K also due to the lower emissions rating.
Hope that helps clear this up for everyone.
So if anyone is paying L they presumably can challenge it ?!?!?

I believe car emissions are fudged by the manufacturers to get around emissions laws.
When I had a company car I had a list sent out of the cars I could have and the tax I had to pay for them depended on their emissions. This changed frequently but the cars and their engines did not, yet a car built in year x would have a crazy tax bill yet the identical car with identical engine built in x+1 would be much cheaper.
They probably tweak the tune a tiny bit to make the difference or just pay off the testers but either way the whole emission thing is a complete con, and don't get me started on why I pay the full amount of tax for a Freelander TD4 even though it's fully electric!

How much are you paying?I believe car emissions are fudged by the manufacturers to get around emissions laws.

And year reg please
And now you mention it
Was it something to do with the towing wight
Thats why the sports couldn’t have lowered springs on the later one
to get the emissions in line

Hi All,
With regards to the VED issue. My MY 06 was registered on 10/03/06, and has a CO2 figure exceeding 225, so my interpretation of the VED table is that if the car was registered before the 23/03/06 it’ll be in K, if registered after 23/03/06 and exceeding 225g it’ll be in L. So I dodged it by 13 days, also I paid £395 last year. However, I’ll see what drops through the post as a reminder for the end of March! I’ll either let out a sigh of relief or feel as if I’ve kicked in the you know where. In the next few years it’ll probably get much worse as ‘they’ want us of the road and into a generic jelly mould every 36 months…
Alibro - you have my sympathy dealing with the EV/Not EV thing.

This thread is so confusing.
Are you now saying it is a 1.8 petrol?
But after March 06 it would be a diesel?
But they stopped making them in 2000, so it could never be an L.
Total madness.

It does look like post March 2006 TD4 automatics take the hit. Manuals appear to be 205 g/km and autos 240 g/km. So a post March 2006 Auto TD4 would be expensive to tax.
I have looked up a few vehicles for sale, looked the reg number up for emissions and the above holds true for the ones I checked.
