How much is road tax on a Mercedes-Benz CLA?
Most used Mercedes-Benz CLA in stock pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year — 100% were first registered on or after 1 April 2017, when road tax became a single annual rate regardless of CO₂. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.
There are currently 4 used Mercedes-Benz CLA models available, spanning model years from 2017 to 2023. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for any used car is crucial, as the amount payable depends significantly on when the car was first registered. Unlike new cars, where the first-year rate is often included in the purchase price, used car buyers will be responsible for the ongoing annual VED. For cars first registered before April 2017, the annual VED is calculated based on their CO2 emissions and fuel type, falling into various tax bands. However, models registered from April 2017 onwards, which includes a significant portion of the Mercedes-Benz CLA range available, follow a different system. These cars pay an initial first-year rate based on CO2 emissions (often higher), followed by a standard flat annual rate for subsequent years. A further surcharge is applied for five years to cars that had a list price exceeding £40,000 when new. Fully electric vehicles, previously exempt, are also seeing changes to their VED status. Because the exact VED rate for a used Mercedes-Benz CLA can vary widely depending on its specific first registration date, its original CO2 emissions, and whether it met the higher list price threshold, we cannot provide a single figure here. It is essential to check the individual details for each car you are interested in. The VED details are typically available on the car's listing page or can be checked using the vehicle registration mark on the UK government's website.
