2015 Peugeot 308 road tax (VED)
Estimated UK road tax (VED) for a 2015 Peugeot 308, plus the rules that apply to its first-registration cohort and how to confirm the exact amount with DVLA.
How VED works for this model year
Cars first registered between 1 March 2001 and 31 March 2017 are taxed by CO₂ band — A through M. Lower-CO₂ models in band A or B can be free, with rates climbing to £700+ a year for the highest-band cars. The band is fixed at the date of first registration, so a 2014 308 stays on its 2014 band for life.
EV VED — what changed in April 2025
Until 31 March 2025, fully-electric cars paid £0 in road tax. From 1 April 2025 onwards, EVs pay £10 in their first year and the standard £190 in subsequent years. The £410 list-price supplement also applies to EVs first registered from April 2025 if the original list price was £40,000 or more.
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.

- 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.
