Honest John Road Tax

The Sub-100g/km Club

Annual vehicle tax can be a significant part of a car’s running costs. The rate of road tax or, to give it its official name, Vehicle Excise Duty, is determined by a car’s CO2 emissions. The lower the CO2 emissions the less you have to pay.

Some cars offer the first year free, but incur a charge thereafter. But others, if the CO2 is low enough, allow owners to renew the VED free of charge year after year. The current threshold for that is 100g/km and a surprisingly high number of cars now qualify.

Peugeot 308

CO2 emissions from 82g/km

Go for a 1.6-litre BlueHDi version of the 308 and you’ll get emissions from as low as 82g/km, allied to impressive refinement and decent performance. If you’re not desperate for super-low emissions, even the larger, more potent 2.0 BlueHDI is good, just not quite as good as the smaller diesel engine.
