Car tax renewal

Just renewed the vehicle tax for my old Ford. It cost me £185 for a year. Tax is high because my is above 1549 cc and registered before 1 March 2001. The cost of vehicle tax is given on the DirectGov site.

Was really annoyed when I found out that the post office near our house where I normally renew my tax, has now been closed. Had to drive to the Great Heath Sub Post Office on Foleshill road (CV6 5JX).

Just found out that I might have lost the chance to win a SEAT car. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) working with SEAT has just launched a free prize draw for people who renew their tax online or by phone.

Renewing vehicle licence

Just renewed the vehicle licence for our car. The old one was expiring on the 31st of this month.

The process of renewing the licence was quite simple. Just drove down to the nearest licence issuing post office taking along the original copies of my Certificate of Insurance / cover note and the MOT vehicle test certificate.
I paid £175 for 12 months tax.

The lady at the post office gave me a tax disc, which I promptly stuck on my windscreen. It shows that the car licence is valid for 1 more year.

That's a total of £400 I have spent on our car, this month alone.

It's not cheap to keep a car in the UK.
