Have a look on your log book, it should say if you have to pay the full wack

Yeah mine must have just sneaked under then. Woohoo. I though they were all over £40k when new.

They are generally leased as a tool to earn money with.

pre covid, yeah, bought mine from a company that couldn't use it anymore

 

[Wizzer59]

The van was shite anyway so I didn’t buy it
A bit annoying as I’d traveled about a 150 miles to see it

@Wizzer59 have you tried VW used vans site?

I’ve just put a deposit on another I saw last week, I liked it at the time, but wanted lower mileage, anyway the guy wasn’t selling it for a couple of wks so I kept on looking, anyway after this shuttle debacle I decided to have it
so anyway don’t send me somewhere Where I can find something better ffs

Murder looking for a van, I had a budget of 12,000, ended up spending 17500, best thing about shuttle was no vat and 36000 mile, most vans I went to see had loads of repairs done, even the low milage ones.

I’m just doing an HPI on a 2018 shuttle I’m considering buying and it says this;
View attachment 85867
does that mean I’d have to pay £475 road tax?

No it’s £205 that was the first year tax as the vehicle was over a certain amount when new

 

[Wizzer59]

No it’s £205 that was the first year tax as the vehicle was over a certain amount when new

Nope, I got all the V5 info from the seller and went on the gov website to tax it, and it said it was £475, just as others have said, and as it said it would be on the log book pic I post above

 

[DadOFMook]

Don’t get it then !

 

[DadOFMook]

That’s for a T6 shuttle

 

[Northern Monkey]

That’s for a T6 shuttle

Your van was either registered before April 2017 or wasn’t over £40000 when purchased.

 

[Wizzer59]

I didn’t, but not just because of the tax, the bodywork had been beat up and repaired by a five year old by the look of it

Yeah sorry Wizzer ! I thought the same but the one I was looking at was the 2017 didn’t realise that the higher bracket was for the 5 years

Swb manuals tend to be under £40k so scrape the lower tax. Mine lwb dsg incl 3 zone climate and metallic over £40k. 13 months and 11000 miles later bought for £25k as a vw approved used vehicle incl first service (early as was longlife but I have to negotiate something into the deal). Bargain and I have no intention of adding a pop top. Tinted the windows and took the 3rd row seat out and I’ve saved £10k on the equivalent kombi and I can go faster on dual carriageways!

I have just bought a 2019 LWB Shuttle and got a filthy look from the Mrs when the guy in the dealership said £475 for the tax. I had assured the wife that as it was a cleaner engine it must be less than our T5 shuttle (£305)
