- High-emission vehicles will face even steeper rises in first-year road tax.

From 1 April 2025, the standard VED rate for all cars will be £195 per year after the first year of ownership. Cars with a list price of more than £40,000 will pay an additional £425 from years two to six, a total of £620 a year, or £3100 over six years.

Are new cars cheaper to insure?

The value of a vehicle affects the insurance premium you’ll have to pay, but other factors apply too, such as the security devices and safety mechanisms installed on the car. Newer models often have technology that makes them harder to steal and safer to drive, which can bring the cost down compared to older vehicles.
