Ain’t government removing the discount for alternative fuel models this year / next year anyway? Amongst others, Ive got an lpg which will no longer get discount & an ev which was free & will no longer be. It’s not uncommon for vehicles to be registered incorrectly. Over the years I’ve had a Saab saloon that said convertible & a bmw convertible that said estate. Depends how gormless the sales admin are at the dealership

the 2024 annual VED flat rates for cars registered after april 2017 will see petrol and diesel cars paying £180 for 12 months alternative fuel cars paying £170 and electric cars not paying anything
