Older Vehicles Face Higher Car Tax in 2026

Owners of older petrol and diesel vehicles, registered before 2001, brace for higher annual Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) starting April 2026. The increase, ranging from £10 to £15, is part of the yearly car tax adjustments. Cars with engines up to 1549cc will pay £230, while those over will pay £375. This change affects vehicles registered between 1986 and 2001, with some 1985 models exempt. Details released by HM Revenue and Customs following the recent Budget announcement.
