How much is road tax on a Nissan X-Trail?
Most used Nissan X-Trail in stock pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year — 75% 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 4 used Nissan X-Trail models currently listed on Motoring Today, ranging from 2016 to 2018 model years. When buying a used car, understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is crucial. For cars registered before 1 April 2017, VED is calculated purely based on the car's CO2 emissions and fuel type. Generally, lower CO2 figures mean a lower tax band. For Nissan X-Trails registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, the VED system changed significantly. These cars incur a first-year rate based on their CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. Additionally, cars with an original list price exceeding £40,000 face an extra annual surcharge for the first five years after their initial registration, though this does not apply to zero-emission vehicles. The exact VED amount for a used Nissan X-Trail will vary depending on its specific registration date, CO2 emissions, and fuel type. Fully electric cars have historically been exempt from VED, but this exemption is changing from April 2025. As the VED rate is individual to each vehicle, please check the specific details provided on each Nissan X-Trail listing to confirm its annual road tax cost.
