Frequently asked questions
- How much is road tax on a Citroën C3?
- A Citroën C3 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 Citroën C3s 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 Citroën C3?
- 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 used cars, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) varies by registration date. Cars first registered from 1 April 2017 typically pay a first-year rate based on CO2, then a standard annual flat rate (currently £190 for petrol/diesel cars). Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new also incur an additional surcharge for five years from the second year. Vehicles registered before April 2017 are taxed annually based on their CO2 emission bands.
- How many Citroën C3s are currently for sale?
- There are 5 Citroën C3 models currently available, ranging from model years 2019 to 2024. This information was last updated on 18 October 2026.
