How much will VRT cost on this Audi A6?

What is the road tax on a 2008 Audi A6 2.0-litre 140hp? It's the facelifted model. Also, what would the VRT be on the same model? It has 92,000 miles on the clock, a manual gearbox and was first registered in December.

Cheers,

Sean

Hi Sean,

The CO2 emissions of that model are 139g/km so the annual motor tax is going to cost you €280. VRT is much, much harder to calculate as it's down to the spec more than the year and mileage, and the mandarins of Revenue are famously arcane in their calculations. Prices for that model seem to hover around the €15,000 mark so, assuming Revenue accepts that as being the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP), then the VRT would be 19 per cent of that, which is €2,850.

Please don't take that as gospel though!
