Owners of 54 models of old classic cars could face eye-watering tax hikes very soon from the DVLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)<\/a>, often known simply as road tax, sees people who drive or keep their cars on public roads pay an annual fee. But this year, the charge is set to increase for almost all petrol and diesel owners.<\/p>\n

First-year VED rates will double, meaning that brand-new polluting models may pay more to be behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

But cars registered between 1984 and 2001 will be hit hard by the tax overhaul as they fall under a different tax system. Experts say drivers in the lower power bracket will pay \u00a3220 in 2025\/26, a hike of about \u00a310 from \u00a3210 per year.<\/p>\n

The tax increase affects Audis, Volkswagens, and even Lamborghinis. Those with more powerful engines above 1549cc will have to cough up \u00a315 more every year, shooting up from \u00a3345 to \u00a3360.<\/p>\n

But vehicles producing more than 255 g\/km of carbon dioxide will see a \u00a32,745 increase.<\/p>\n

The rules will be rolled out by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) from April.<\/p>\n

New roadworthy car owners are expected to pay an additional \u00a3418 on average, according to GoCompare.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diesel cars will be stung the hardest, however. The average increase will be \u00a31,113, about double the rise facing petrol drivers. <\/p>\n

Zero-emission vehicle drivers – think electric cars (EVs) – will no longer benefit from being tax-free for the first year.<\/p>\n
