Either your cars kerb weight has been seriously understated or you've got relatives in the road tax office.

I think the road tax goes down a small amount after you've had it for 5 years, either from new or importation.

Japeal as I understand it the third party side of the insurance is pretty limited, not sure i would want to put it to the test!



For my tiny little Toyota Vitz it was only £123 for the comprehensive side of insurance, plus 250tl for the third party.



My car is a 2001 which they still tell me is worth £4500 certainly would not want to loose that for a £123!



Hope this helps.



Dave.
