Land Rover Range Rover Velar road tax bands & cost
Quick UK road-tax (VED) explainer for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, with year-by-year guidance on which Vehicle Excise Duty rules apply.
How VED works for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar
UK VED depends on when the car was first registered, not when it was made. Three regimes apply: pre-2001 cars by engine size; 2001–2017 cars by CO₂ band; 2017-onwards cars on a flat standard rate (currently £190/year for most, with a £410 list-price supplement for cars over £40,000 from years 2–6).
PHEV VED specifics
Plug-in hybrid Range Rover Velars benefit from the alternative-fuel discount of £10 a year off the post-2017 standard rate. Their first-year rate scales with WLTP CO₂, which for a PHEV is typically very low — often £0 first year for high-spec PHEVs.
Where to verify the exact rate
The definitive UK road-tax figure for any individual car is held by the DVLA. To confirm: enter the registration on gov.uk's "check vehicle tax" tool, or use the standalone road-tax check. The figure depends on the exact CO₂ figure the DVLA holds, the date of first registration and the original list price — all of which we surface in a Full HPI report.
Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the year of first registration and CO₂ figures. Newer Range Rover Velars pay the £190 flat rate from year two; older examples are CO₂-banded. Use the calculator — or run a Full HPI check — to get the figure for a specific car.
- Until 31 March 2025, fully-electric Range Rover Velars paid £0 VED. From 1 April 2025, EVs pay £10 in year one and the standard £190 thereafter. The £410 list-price supplement also applies to EVs first registered after that date if the list price was £40,000 or more.
- Imported cars are taxed against UK rules from the date they're first UK-registered, not their original overseas date. Modifications that change CO₂ won't change VED — the band is fixed by the original DVLA record.
- Yes. The DVLA's free check shows the next due date and whether tax is in force. For the actual annual cost, you need the CO₂ figure and first-registration date — a Full HPI check shows both.
