How much is road tax on a Fiat 500x?

There are currently 3 used Fiat 500x models for sale on Motoring Today, spanning model years from 2016 to 2018. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for any used car is essential, and the 500x is no different. In the UK, VED for a used car primarily depends on its first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. Because the available 500x models span 2016 to 2018, they fall into a period where the VED system saw significant changes. Cars registered before 1 April 2017 are taxed purely on their CO2 emissions, falling into different bands that dictate the annual VED cost. Vehicles registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, however, operate under a different system: they pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. An additional surcharge applies to cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new, for five years from the second year of registration, though this is less likely to apply to a used Fiat 500x. It is important to note that the exact VED amount for any specific Fiat 500x will vary based on its precise first-registration date and specific engine configuration. While fully-electric cars have historically been exempt from VED, this exemption is changing. To ascertain the exact VED applicable to a particular Fiat 500x you are considering, please check the specific details provided for that individual car on its listing page.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Fiat 500x?
A Fiat 500x 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 Fiat 500xs 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 Fiat 500x?
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 in the UK, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) largely depends on when the vehicle was first registered. Cars registered from 1 April 2017 are subject to a first-year rate followed by a standard flat rate, with an additional surcharge for cars with a list price over £40,000 when new. Older cars are generally taxed based on their CO2 emissions bands.
