My smelly tramps 2.2 56 plate transit euro 4 van is 140 ved later suckerz

Costs me more to keep it on the road than it would to tax a newer van but f*** it I'm still a winner

Oh yes, I had forgotten that early (van) adopters of Euro 4 were cheaper than the later ones
They did the same for early (van) Euro 5's, but Ford never got around to producing one until the following year when it was too late

I recently spotted a 56 plate mk7 euro 4 transit tourneo and dated to dream,it was for sale cheap and looked very tidy with low mileage. Until I checked the tax but it was stupid like 380 or something. Apparently buses don't seem to get the cheap tax thing.

All to prove that there's literally no logic involved and that the emissions are just an excuse that fits to suit what the baby politicians fancy.

When we're all self powered with solar panels and electric cars etc and not reliant on the grid, we'll get taxed for the equivalent tax evasion. When I'm 120 I'll report back here with a big 'HA!' you'll see

Once the government stop the UK from selling petrol / diesel cars and then charge us £15 a gallon to force the old cars off the road , we will all be able to walk everywhere whilst the U.S / China , and the rest of the world carry on driving Petrol and Diesel vehicles , never mind , at least some low life Politician will be able to sit back on his Government Pension .

Hi loot yes tax rates are daft when I had my doblo van a mate had the car spec one and his was a lot lower tax rate because it’s classed as a car but my factory caddy 5 seater crew van is the same tax as a panel van but my camper built on a x 4600 kg mini buss is only £165 a year .
Brettenbear63 your right until the rest of the world cut their pollution down it makes no difference what we and Europe do all these stop oil protesters should go to China and Russia and give it a go and see what happens.
For me all this save the planet is just a excuse to tax us all when the Green Party types started everybody laugh at them to someone in government got the idea that if we tell everybody we need to go green we can tax the hell out of them and they won’t complain like they did over the pole tax the low emissions zones are not about air quality they are just a money maker.
