I am coming across some in a panic about older (7 years or more) car tax increases in April 2026. But I thought our older car tax was staying roughly the same. My CDTi is 163 on emissions and £265

Hi Edward.
I think it's the petrol V6 that are going to be around £750 but don't quote me on it.

Thanks Steve. I hear lots of chat about big increases but can't find any official source to confirm it is happening.

It looks like all is speculation regards what Rachel Reeves may announce on 3 March. I found this:-
"Motorists across the United Kingdom are bracing for a fresh wave of changes to car taxation and motoring regulations as Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver the 2026 Spring Statement on March 3."

Well that seems to be a US based news site (and maybe just AI bot generated). Bearing in mind that even most UK 'newspapers' are now mired in just saying things people want to click, I wouldn't give it a moments thought. Just to give you an absolutely non political example, how many times have you seen the headline 'the exact date that the UK wil be hit by a 600 mile wall of snow' over the last few years, and actually weeks. And it's all of them. And they are never right, and never get called out on it.

No matter what your political leanings, and we shouldn't get involved in that here, be very careful of believing stuff you read anywhere as it's now a sport.

Last year VED on V6 was £430 it usually goes up by £20.00 every year, If the thieving bint wants more than £450 It will be another huge iron spike in the coffin of the current political incumbent.

As an aside, My V6 came of age in November last year. I took delivery on the 4th November 2004

Ah OK.
