That was lucky, amazed it held any pressure! I’m guessing you stuck with Pirelli then!

Just updating my topic.

So she's 4yrs 3months. Just had 4th service and 2nd MOT. Got a few things I'm not 100% happy with, little marks etc but typical stuff for a 4yr / 30,000 mile example. Treated her to a proper clean and tidy up. Still comes up good.

Polished up a treat. Satin grey highlights against very shiny gloss black , mmmm lovely.

I went for an Abarth as a winter/runaround car. Not free road tax, but it has bags of personality and a growly exhaust.

Received letter from DVLA this morning. That is always a worry! Although I haven't been anywhere in a month as I've had Covid.

Although good news! Direct debit mandate for my road tax changes from £42.87 down to £13.56 from June next year. I was wondering how it would work when car was 5yrs old and the premium road tax would disappear. Would seem it is all automatic.

That's good news! I though the premium didn't come off until year 7? Is it emissions related?

https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables

Cars registered on or after 1 April 2017 (mine being 27th May 2017).

Vehicles with a list price of more than £40,000
You have to pay an extra £335 a year if you have a car with a ‘list price’ (the published price before any discounts) of more than £40,000.
You only have to pay this rate for 5 years

That is odd as I was also under the impression Tax 7 was when it stopped, as it's "5 years (from the second time the vehicle is taxed)".

1 May 17-18 : £140 or £2000
1 May 18-19 : +£335
1 May 19-20 : +£335
1 May 20-21 : +£335
1 May 21-22 : +£335
1 May 22-23 : +£335 <-- ?
1 May 23-24 : £140

It's in advance, I wonder if this is to do with installments.. seems a way of avoiding the luxury duty for the last 11 months...

That sounds sneaky - penalising people who pay the lot up front.

Bug in the DVLA's computer software I bet! Reduce the tax rate after the last full payment date, whereas it should be before the next full payment.

Hope they don't fix it before mines due.. might have change it to installments the year before :D
