Frequently asked questions
- How much is road tax on a Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
- A Mercedes-Benz A-Class 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 Mercedes-Benz A-Classs 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 Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
- 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 first registered from April 2017, a first-year rate applies, followed by a standard flat rate. Cars with an original list price over £40,000 also pay a surcharge for five years. For cars registered before April 2017, road tax is generally based on CO2 emissions bands.
- Do electric Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars pay road tax?
- Currently, zero-emission electric vehicles are exempt from VED in the UK. However, this exemption is changing from April 2025, when electric cars will start to pay VED. Always check the current government rules for the most up-to-date information.
- How many Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars are for sale?
- We currently have 13 Mercedes-Benz A-Class models for sale, spanning model years from 2015 to 2023. This count was last updated on 5 October 2026.
