Yeah, I head an ad for a mercedes this morning which is part-electric, “so you pay less road tax”

You go online to tax the vehicle and complete the process. Insurance doesn’t figure into this.

It only gives me the option to pay that amount for the whole 12 months, though: I can’t divide it and pay for six months 😉

So, no Direct Debit option to spare you all the administrative hassle?

But seriously (out of curiosity), are you still required to go through the motions to “tax your car”, albeit at zero cost? I presume that prior to the abolition of the tax disc, you were required to display one. And completing the process does prove insurance, if only at that time, and can be searched by others online.

Yeah, but they’re historic fumes 😉

 

One of the cars now does about ten miles a week (my wife), the other hasn’t moved for six weeks.

Both vehicles are serviced once a year although they don’t need to be MOTd, and we keep on top of repairs etc.

I try and balance off the cost (financial and carbon footprint) of manufacture of a new vehicle vs the costs of scrapping a perfectly good but historic one.

Obviously I don’t take my car on the public highway as I’m not paying for it. So I just stick to my private Estate.
