1.2 TDI road tax

[cb1992]

Hi, recently purchased a 61 plate Ibiza ST 1.2 TDI ( very slow I know) and was surprised to see that it was £20 to tax. I was always under the impression that they were £0 due to being <100g/km Co2. Not an issue as 20 quid road tax is still good but just curious, can anyone shed any light?

Cheers

105 g/km

you didn't buy the Ecomotive version 92 g/km

See this is the confusing thing it is the ecomotive model as per the v5 and also badging on vehicle. My V5 state’s ‘Ibiza SE Copa CR TDI Ecomotive’ yet also has 102G/KM against CO2. Strange.

Chat to a SEAT dealership about this, in the past you were given a paperwork version of the service documentation, and on the stuck on "build data" sheet would be lots of things including latterly, the "g/km" - maybe that sticker is also stuck to the side of the spare wheel well, worth checking, but if V5 says otherwise you will be fighting an very steep up hill battle as government departments will never admit that they were wrong, also that V5 should have been generated from info that the original selling SEAT dealership gave them, maybe a mistake was made there, but probably no way to resolve it now.

Just to note, I have a 2011MY Audi S4 built in late January 2011 and sold in mid February 2011, it get listed as being a 234g/km output car, lots of same 6MT S4s slightly older and slightly newer got listed as being slightly lower g/km out, so fit into about half the £555 and year road tax bracket I pay, life sucks at times - probably too late for government to move to a much lower rate of annual road tax and push the tax on the fuel used so that the actual polluters, ie total theoretical g/year is what we are hit for!

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah i think I will contact Seat, paying £20 p/a road tax isnt the end of the world either way, its just that when i put my Registration No to purchase car parts its throwing up the wrong info. For example on Blackcircles it brings up 16 inch tyres when it has 15's. So I'm just worried that there is a possibility of incorrect parts being purchased/fitted.
