Are cars over 25 years old exempt from road tax gov?
This means that currently vehicles constructed before 1 January 1984 are exempt from paying VED. The law does not specifically define a vehicle as historic or classic for registration purposes, and it is widely recognised that there are many factors other than age which influence whether a car is considered as classic. Typically, a car is eligible for classic status when it reaches 20 to 25 years of age. However, age is just the starting point; the vehicle also needs to maintain its original or restored condition and meet specific insurer criteria, which may include factors like rarity or particular model significance.
