There are 4 Ford Rangers currently available on Motoring Today, spanning model years 2018 to 2023. Understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for a used Ford Ranger depends significantly on its original registration date. Unlike new cars, where the VED system is more straightforward, used cars are taxed based on the rules applicable when they were first registered. This means that a 2018 Ford Ranger will be subject to different VED regulations than a 2023 model, depending on its specific CO2 emissions and fuel type. For cars first registered before 1 April 2017, VED is calculated purely on CO2 emissions bands. However, for vehicles registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, including all the Ford Rangers listed here, a different system applies. This newer system typically involves a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an extra "premium rate" surcharge for five years, from the second time the vehicle is taxed. It is important to note that fully electric vehicles currently benefit from VED exemption, though this is scheduled to change in the future. As the exact VED amount for your chosen used Ford Ranger depends on its precise first-registration date, fuel type, and CO2 emissions, it's essential to check the specific details for each individual car listing on Motoring Today.

Do electric Ford Rangers pay road tax?

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 Ford Ranger?
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, VED is calculated using a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate.
