With three Renault Kadjar models currently available, ranging from 2016 to 2018, understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is an important consideration for used car buyers. The amount of VED you pay for a used Kadjar depends critically on its first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. This system is not based on the car's age when you buy it, but rather when it was first registered. For a Renault Kadjar, cars first registered before April 2017 are taxed based purely on their CO2 emission bands. The lower the CO2 emissions, the lower the annual VED. However, for models first registered from April 2017 onwards, a different system applies. These cars initially pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a flat standard rate for subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an extra "premium car" surcharge for five years, though this is less likely to apply to Kadjar models from this year range. It's important to remember that fully electric vehicles, which have historically been exempt from VED, are seeing changes to their taxation status. Because the exact VED figure varies for each individual car, due to its specific registration date and emissions, we cannot provide a universal figure here. Always check the specific details for the Renault Kadjar you are interested in to confirm its precise annual road tax cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Renault Kadjar?
A Renault Kadjar 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 Kadjars 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 Kadjar?
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?
Cars registered before April 2017 are taxed based on CO2 emission bands. For cars registered from April 2017 onwards, there's a first-year rate followed by a standard flat rate, with an additional surcharge for cars that had a list price over a certain threshold when new.
