How old does a car have to be to be tax exempt?

 

I was trying to figure out how old I'll be when I get free tax for the Zed lol

Tax exemption on cars used to be on cars over 25 years, but IIRC the government decided to make more money on us by making it a fixed point instead of a rolling 25yrs, so it's now only cars manufactured before 1976..

 

Steve :)

actually its All cars registered before 1973 are exempt from road tax

cars after that have to be classed as "historical" but i aint got a clue who decides, probably some spotty git at dvla

Aww that sucks, I was hoping when I was in my 40's or something to not have to tax it every year... ah well :( Time to get a 60's mustang then I suppose :dance:

 

Thanks for the info :)

Historic vehicle status is granted to any vehicle MANUFACTURED on or before 31st dec 1972.(Could be registered in early73). You must submit proof to dvla when it was manufactured
