xcd Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi I'm looking at getting a 1.25L MK7.5 but am confused about all the various tax bands, see below: 1.25 Zetec (82ps) 5d (1 Oct 2008 - 21 Mar 2010) - £140 1.25 Zetec (82ps) 5d (22 Mar 2010 - 30 Oct 2012) - £120 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (26 Nov 2012 - 1 Feb 2015) - £30 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (2 Feb 2015 - 31 Mar 2017) - £120 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (31 Mar 2017 - 29 Apr 2017) - £140 I get that the emissions will have changed between the Mk7 & MK7.5 maybe due to weight saving or similar, and again I know the whole tax system changed in 01/04/2017 which explains that, but what are the other changes in 2010 and 2015 (in Italics)?

Tiexen Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Its not the hp its the emissions all the above should be: £135 (131-140 (E) apart from the last one which is the new rate a pre 2017 1ltr Ecoboost 100hp Fiesta would be £0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 The rates for cars registered from 2001 - 2017 are shown on the Gov.Uk website and others such as the AA. The only way to be 100% sure is to look at the actual CO2 figures for the specific vehicle on the V5C as individual cars can vary due to tyres, equipment etc though as @Tiexen suggests you would expect them to be in band E, which is £140 according to Gov.Uk.

xcd Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks, I'm aware it's based on the emissions, so I'll add them on, but why does it vary so much when changers weren't made? I'm not interested in an ecoboom due to the issues, but a family member has a 1.25L 2013 and that is £30 so it does vary. 1.25 Zetec (82ps) 5d (1 Oct 2008 - 21 Mar 2010) - £140 - 133 (Band E) 1.25 Zetec (82ps) 5d (22 Mar 2010 - 30 Oct 2012) - £120 - 124-129 (Band D) 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (26 Nov 2012 - 1 Feb 2015) - £30 - 120 (Band C) 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (2 Feb 2015 - 31 Mar 2017) - £120 - 122 (Band D) 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 5d (31 Mar 2017 - 29 Apr 2017) - £140 - 122 (Band G) Data from here: https://www.parkers.co.uk/ford/fiesta/hatchback-2008/car-tax/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 if you have the reg no and do the DVLA check to see if car taxed (which presumably is used by people to grass on their neighbours) it tells you the CO2 figure. With that you can then look at the govt tax tables. check CO2 number :https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ Tax tables: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/rates-for-cars-registered-on-or-after-1-march-2001 eg. if you do this check on my car it gives the info below. As you can see mine is CO₂Emissions:82 g/km which is free. yippee! (but there is more to wrong - eg. diesel particle filter so it's not hugely gloatworthy Vehicle make:FORD Date of first registration:November 2015 Year of manufacture:2015 Cylinder capacity (cc):1499 cc CO₂Emissions:82 g/km Fuel type:DIESEL Euro Status:Not available Export marker:No Vehicle status:Tax not due Vehicle colour:BLACK Vehicle type approval:M1 Wheelplan:2-AXLE-RIGID BODY Revenue weight:1575kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All manual as far as I know, it doesn't specifically say, but it tallies with what I'm seeing on Autotrader, and a family member has a 1.25L on £30 tax which is what I'm after, I just don't get what triggers the jumps for some of them when nothing seemingly changed.

muinatiT Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ford continued to tweak various things over the years to reduce emissions in order to make their vehicles more desirable to the customer with cheaper VED, and also some government initiative that charged manufacturers more tax or something based on the average emissions from all their vehicles on sale. My 2012 1.4 Mk7 auto dropped into a lower VED band than the same car made a few months before because of this.
