There are currently 3 used Vauxhall Grandland X models available for sale on Motoring Today, spanning model years from 2018 to 2021. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for any of these cars is straightforward but depends critically on its first registration date and the specific vehicle's CO2 emissions and fuel type. For used cars in the UK, the VED system operates differently based on when the car was first registered. Vehicles registered before 1st April 2017 are taxed primarily on their CO2 emissions banding. However, as the Vauxhall Grandland X range available here begins with 2018 models, all these cars fall under the newer VED system. For cars first registered from 1st April 2017 onwards, there's a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard annual flat rate. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an annual surcharge for five years, from the second year of registration. Fully electric cars, while previously exempt, are also set to incur VED charges in the near future. It's important to remember that the exact VED amount for any specific used Vauxhall Grandland X will vary. This is because it is calculated individually for each car based on its precise first registration date, its recorded CO2 emissions, and its fuel type. Therefore, to ascertain the exact road tax for a particular used Vauxhall Grandland X you are interested in, you should always check the specific details provided for that individual vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Vauxhall Grandland X?
A Vauxhall Grandland X 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 Vauxhall Grandland Xs 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?

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 Vauxhall Grandland X?
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.

How does used-car road tax work in the UK?
