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 3 used Mercedes-Benz CLA models currently available on Motoring Today, with examples spanning from 2017 to 2019. When buying a used car in the UK, understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is essential. Unlike new cars, the VED rate for a used vehicle is determined by its first registration date and original CO2 emissions, alongside its fuel type. This means the specific annual cost can vary significantly even for the same model. Cars registered before April 2017 are taxed purely based on their CO2 emissions banding. However, Mercedes-Benz CLA models registered from April 2017 onwards, which includes all the examples currently listed, fall under a different system. These vehicles typically pay a first-year rate based on CO2, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. An additional surcharge applies to cars with an original list price exceeding £40,000 for five years from the second year of registration. Fully electric cars have historically been exempt, but this exemption is changing from April 2025. Because the VED amount depends on the individual car's exact registration date, CO2 emissions, and original list price, it is not possible to provide a single figure here. For precise road tax information on any specific Mercedes-Benz CLA on Motoring Today, please check the individual vehicle's listing details.
