Three Volkswagen T-Rocs are currently available on Motoring Today, with models from 2018 to 2020. When considering one of these used Volkswagen T-Rocs, understanding how Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is calculated is important. For used cars in the UK, the VED amount depends on two key factors: the vehicle's first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. For cars registered before April 2017, VED is calculated purely based on CO2 emissions, with different bands corresponding to varying annual costs. However, all Volkswagen T-Rocs listed on Motoring Today were registered from 2018 onwards, meaning they fall under the different system introduced in April 2017. Under this system, cars pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate in subsequent years. Additionally, cars with an original list price exceeding £40,000 are subject to an annual surcharge for five years from the second time the vehicle is taxed. It is also worth noting that while fully-electric vehicles have historically been exempt from VED, this exemption is scheduled to change. Since the exact VED amount for any specific Volkswagen T-Roc depends on its individual first-registration date, CO2 emissions, and original list price, it is crucial to check the specific details for any car you are interested in. You will find this information readily available in the full vehicle listing.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Volkswagen T-Roc?
A Volkswagen T-Roc 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 Volkswagen T-Rocs 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 Volkswagen T-Roc?
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 1 April 2017 onwards, VED involves a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate.

Older cars, registered before April 2017, are taxed purely on their CO2 emissions bands.
