Yep, it sucks.

Another one of my motorbikes is now tax free though, so that helps. A little :headbang:

40 years old before it can be classified as tax exempt, although you can apply for exemption once the car is 25 years old on the basis it will not be driven that much.... Still another 11-12 years for most of our Zeds! :(
Not sure I will last that long. :wink:

I think that`s a bit harsh . They need all the money they can get so that they can continue doing a wonderful job repairing the pot holes again and again and again and again ..................... :evil: :evil: :evil:

Damn you quoted me before I re-edited my post to correct it! :lol:

I misread that for classic cars older than 25 years you could apply for tax exemption - this is incorrect - it's just 40 years old so it would seem :(

It’s only ULEZ compliant became the testing machine doesn’t work when it’s covered in oil :lol:
