why is that tax on my 172 0nly £55

[W17GLE]

Ive bought a mk1 172 its on a y plate and the tax disk says £55 this can not be right. how much does everyone else pay? all my old cars have been far more expensive than this.

Surely a mistake ??

 

[Day]

Must be - even 6 months is nearly double that lol

 

[W17GLE]

that is exactly what i thought. can't really understand it.

 

[CUPCRAZY]

Surely a mistake ??

Or a fake/stolen disk.



If I remember correctly its £92.50-£95 for 6 months


Best get that checked out sharpish.

 

[Ross M]

it was £104.50 for 6 months for me .... must be stolen

The Tax for my 2003 1.2 is £55 for 6 months, sounds like a mix up to me

 

[W17GLE]

its not a fake disk got the original reciept from the post office. only thing i can think of is that the garage has some dodgy dealings with that post office. might go back there next time and hope for the best.

6 months tax on my 1.2 was £55 yesterday

 

[W17GLE]

probably just a mix up. shame really. thanks everyone at least now i know i have to pay twice that much cheers

 

[Iain C]

cool go with it!!

 

[GinandGasoline]

either a mistake that or it's not really a 172

i just paid 190 for 12 months

I wish it really was only £55 though!

Look at the co2 figure on the v5 document. A 'Y' plate car tax is based on this, and it should be 189g/km.

£55 puts you in band C, so less than 150g/km

Could be an error with the car being registered with the DVLA as the incorrect model? i.e. DVLA think it's actually a 1.2???

According to a lot of insurance company's websites, my 172 is actually a Megane 225 (inputting my registration used to bring up the incorrect details)

 

[ChrisR]

Y reg will be before it went on co2 and will be on engine size or something.

Anyways it'll be 195 for a year or 96odd for 6 months (just taxed mine).

 

[Batman]

if its been converted from a 1.2 to a 2.0 the tax is only 55 for 6 months

 

[Ross M]

Anyways it'll be 195 for a year or 96odd for 6 months (just taxed mine).

i was £104.50 for 6months

 

[Kiev85]

f**k the DVLA wen have they ever done anyone anything good...

i'd pay 55quid...

and just keep quiet..

 

[_Kenny_]

my 1.4 is £65 for 6 months!

 

[DaveJwxm]

defo something wrong

 

[W17GLE]

had the car hpi checked before buying it, one owner from new no crashes definately a 172. might put 1.2 badges on and hope for the best. lol

 

[Brad182]

I guess just wait for the tax renewal form to come through and see what that says...wish they made a mistake on mine

I refused to buy 6 months. Why the f**k is it £15 more expensive than the equivilent if you bought 12 months? Tossers.
