Sorry for my ignorance could someone tell me the engine cc size for the lowest road tax category. I thought it was 1000cc for the lowest and have been scanning the ads for a 1000 cc station car. Someone told me that in fact you can go up to 1300 maybe 1400cc at the lowest rate.
Thanks in advance

I think the tax groups are based on the output of CO2, but only for vehicles built after a certain date. My daughter's 2 litre HDI is in the lowest tax group, whilst the other daughter's 1.9 XUD is in the highest. I believe my own 2.1 would qualify for the low group, but it was regestered before the qualifying date.

I remember it well, we had a chap at work with a Rover 111i (he went potty if you called it a metro) boasting about his cheap road tax, until somebody said they'd rather pay the extra than drive a metro. As it was 1120cc it did'nt qualify which made us all laugh.
When the chancellor said it would be for small cars, I wondered if my 205 GTi would qualify being supermini sized, but it was pointed out to me that whilst it was a small car, it had a big engine, so no.
