Hello,

I'm asking out of curiosity. My aunt living in the UK told me I couldn't get away with my 3 old BMWs over there, I would have to pay even more carbon taxes and MOT taxes than in Belgium.

Here it has become very expensive to put an 15-25 years old BMW on the road due to a carbon tax, so unless your car is over 25 years old, the state hits you, worst, when you buy the car you don't even know how much you will pay. I got 3 tax invoices

1st 1.8L E34 1990 -> 220 g co2 / km -> 200 euros
2nd 2.5L E30 1987 -> 195 g co2 / km -> 0 euros
3rd 2L E36 1993 -> 248 g co2 / km -> 350 euros

Over 255 g co2/km you have to pay 1000 euros. And that was the old scheme. Since 2010 they further increased the "fines".

I never heard of those carbon values before. Besides I only agree with the 2nd invoice . The last one is especially fantastic!
I went to the dealer. They did not have any carbon value for my cars. They are too old.

so the green dictatorship makes those values up and don't even reveal them before you buy the second hand car.
