25 year road tax exempt rules
Slightly off beat but there must owners that have t25s over twenty five years or approching.I saw on ebay and its not the first i have seen this a seller discribing that the vehicle may be road fund licence exempt.I thought the 25 year rules on the road fund licence had changed.My devon t25 was registered in 1981 .Does this make my vehicle road fund licence exempt.

politics is a banned subject on here , but I'm sure any government would have pulled it sooner or later. Its like the lower duty not being put on Veg Oil, governments over the last few decades have wiped out any money the country has and we have a pension scheme that has no pot - plus people like us (ordinary folk) want more public spending (OK, probably spent better than it has been) and better welfare etc.....
I like the phrase liebour - should it be lieblair??

I thought someone said the IOM still had a rolling 25 year rule?
If by some happenstance we actually had a government that cared about, well about anything other than pleasing their massivly rich corporate sponsors it would still be a tricky issue.
Environmentaly 25 year old vehicles tend to be more poluting day to day, they need more maintenance than a new vehicle to have a carbon cost there also but all that is offset by the huge cost of producing a new vehicle.

I don't have access to those figures and as some of them could be considered to be comercially sensitive (which means "we don't want you to know that!) I doubt anyone has them all.
It is almost always more desireable to reuse something then it is to recycle and remanufacture. Breaking up a car for recycling is a very very expensive process. Manufacturing a new car is similar (which is why it is not cost effective to do it here anymore). Scavanging parts and keeping things running however is much much cheaper in a Carbon Footprint Context.

On the subject of older vehicles causing more polution, a vehicle causes more greenhouse gasses during in manufacturing than during the running of it during its lifetime.......................so ecologicaly it is kinder to the enviroment to run an older vehicle than keep replacing with new
