How much is road tax on a Tesla Model Y?
Most used Tesla Model Y 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. Electric Model Ys now pay road tax too (the zero-emission exemption ended on 1 April 2025) — the same £200 standard rate. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.
There are 3 used Tesla Model Ys available on Motoring.Today, ranging in age from 2023 to 2026 models. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for a used Model Y in the UK is straightforward but depends critically on its first registration date. For all used cars in the UK, the VED rate is determined by when the car was first registered. Cars registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, which includes all Tesla Model Ys currently for sale, follow a system where the first year's tax is based on CO2 emissions, followed by a flat standard rate in subsequent years. Importantly, fully electric vehicles have historically been exempt from VED, though this exemption is changing. It is crucial to note that individual vehicle details, such as the exact first registration date and any optional extras that might affect its original list price, can influence the precise VED due. For used cars with an original list price exceeding a certain threshold, an additional VED surcharge applies for five years from the second year of registration. We always recommend checking the specific VED details for any Tesla Model Y you are considering, as these figures are tied to the individual car.
