There are currently 5 Renault Captur models available on Motoring Today, ranging in age from 2014 to 2019. When purchasing a used car like the Captur, understanding its Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, is crucial. In the UK, VED is determined by the car's first registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. Unlike new cars, where the first year’s tax is often included in the purchase price, a used car's VED is based on its existing registration details. For used Renault Captur models registered before April 2017, the annual VED rate is typically calculated purely on CO2 emissions, falling into different tax bands. Cars registered from April 2017 onwards, however, use a different system: a first-year rate (which you won't pay for a used car) followed by a standard annual flat rate. There's also an additional surcharge for cars that had a list price over £40,000 when new, applicable for five years from the second year of registration. Fully electric cars currently enjoy VED exemption, though this is set to change in the future. Because VED rates vary significantly depending on the specific car's registration date, engine, and CO2 emissions, we cannot state a general figure here. To find the exact annual VED amount for any of the 5 Renault Captur models available, please check the individual car's details on its listing page. This will provide the precise information you need for budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Renault Captur?
A Renault Captur 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 Renault Capturs 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 Renault Captur?
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 involves a first-year rate based on CO2, followed by a standard flat rate. Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new incur an additional surcharge for five years. Older cars are typically taxed based on CO2 emission bands.
