Terrano Van Tax and Insurance

jims-terrano · 19-01-2017, 00:29

I know Banshee has a van but anyone else as well please. Can you tell me how much the road tax and insurance is compared to a ordinary car terrano.

I've looked at DVLA website but the tax is either same as a car or it's only £140 for a commercial. Does it make any difference that I'm not a business user as such. I need my car insurance to cover business use for work but it's only the basic cover and doesn't make any difference to the current insurance policies that I have.

Hi Jim, for the standard truck, the road tax will depend on when the truck was first registered, it took quite a hike after a particular year.
So first of all, when was the truck first registered, ie month and year?

This link should help just go to the page that covers the date of first registration for later vehicles you will need to know the emissions that are on the V5 document.

Vehicle registered after March 2006 are where the big increase happens for 4x4. Post March 2006 are over £500 !

Found this the other day, and filed it away, then noticed this thread again.....

My T2 V5 says 262 G/Km under the emissions section......

But these new taxation costs only applied to new cars, so I am making a huge assumption (not a normal habit of mine!) that our older cars will continue with the older levels of taxation and as mine is 2002 model, I will when I bring it back and reregister it pay the old band of £200 ish/something.......???

If you open the DVLA link I posted it starts with new cars then just keep on going onto the next page until you reach the date for your particular vehicle you will see the rates for Pre March 2001 etc link for pages below. No assumption made as the reduced and increased rates were not retrospective it's all based on first registration table and later ones vary with emissions. It's confusing because your V5 will still show emissions even though they were not used in the UK on older vehicles.
