Frequently asked questions
- How much is road tax on a BMW 1 Series?
- A BMW 1 Series registered on or after 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate of £200 a year for 2026/27. Cars registered between March 2001 and March 2017 pay a CO₂-based band instead. If the car cost over £40,000 new, add the £440/yr expensive-car supplement in years 2–6.
- Do electric BMW 1 Seriess pay road tax?
- Yes — since 1 April 2025 zero-emission cars pay VED. A new electric car pays £10 in its first year, then the £200 standard rate; electric cars registered before April 2025 also pay £200. Electric cars registered before March 2017 pay £20.
- What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
- Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
- How is road tax calculated for the BMW 1 Series?
- For cars registered from April 2017, VED is a first-year "showroom" rate based on CO₂ emissions, then the flat £200 standard rate every year after. Older cars (2001–2017) stay on the CO₂ band system (bands A–M). You can check the exact rate for any specific car by its registration on the DVLA vehicle-tax service.
- How does used-car road tax work in the UK?
- For cars registered from April 2017, Vehicle Excise Duty comprises a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate. Cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new incur an additional yearly surcharge for five years. Older cars registered before April 2017 are taxed purely based on their CO2 emission bands.
- Do electric BMW 1 Series models pay road tax?
- Historically, fully electric vehicles have been exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty in the UK. However, the rules regarding EV VED exemptions are changing, so it is important to check the current regulations for any specific electric BMW 1 Series you are considering.
- How many BMW 1 Series models are for sale?
- Currently, there are 12 BMW 1 Series models for sale, ranging from model years 2017 to 2025. This information was last updated on 27 September 2026.
