Road Tax brackets are good for the Fiestas.

1.4 and 1.6 Petrol now £110 for 1 year tax

1.25 now £90 for 1 year tax

Both Dsl now Only £20 for a year.

And if you buy the 1.25 Petrol or the 1.4/1.6 Dsl from 1st April you get 1st years tax free as the Gov wont charge you. All you pay is £55 reg fee and £25 For reg Plates

    They are the new road tax brackets that effect every car. So if you look on the Standard rates you can see how much yours will now cost to tax. The bottom First Year rates only apply to cars when bought new I.e the new "Showroom Tax"
