Why is it so much cheaper for me to insurance a Mjet compared to a Tjet.

Mjet - £321.30 (Direct Line)

Tjet - £514.50 (Direct Line)

Used confused and direct line.

Has anyone else found this aswell?

lol wtf i dont see how that makes sence?

Are you sure you are choosing the 1.9 and not the 1.3 MJet?

i think petrols may be more likely owned buy boyos and diesel is more likely a family? maybe?/

1.9 for sure got a reg of the internet and double checked

Fair enough then.

Maybe the insurance company prefers the MJet

Was the other way round for me. Cheaper to insure a T-jet than it was an M-jet.

As my first car they insured me on an M-Jet but wouldnt touch me on a T-Jet.

Think it's based on the fact that they believe 'boy racers' wouldnt drive a diesel

Just shows how fekkin wrong they are dunnit!!:slayer:

thats about right, it cost me 370 with direct line for an m jet. The tjet is a highr group no?

No

groups may be the same but risk is different, they may view the tjet to appeal to a higher risk market? was a big saving for me getting an mjet over a tjet by about £300 then you take into account tax, economy, lifespan

Also got to think an MJet is more expensive than a TJet so if you were to crash it should cost them more to replace one for you. So very wierd indeed.

I found it was the other way round for quotes that I got..

500 odd for the t-jet 600 odd for M-jet

how old are you btw? sorry slightly off topic ;-)

Our multijet sporting costs about £500 fully comp, my gf is only 20 hence the cost.

We got a quote for a T-jet and would get a £6 refund :slayer:

I thought both the sporting models were a group 6 so there should be very little difference.

I can only assume that you/the insurance company have entered the wrong details.

As already mentioned I think it is related to the 'risk factor'. I'm only 20 and only passed my test in Nov '07, and they wouldnt touch me on a T-Jet. An M-Jet was no problem though, and actually worked out cheaper than my Mk2b 1.2 8v Active Sport

im 19 with 2yrs NCB and my T-jet is cheaper for me to insure than my old mk2b 1.2 8v but an M-jet was more expensive?!

Cool Blue - welcome to the world of connnffffusssed.com.

Now then here's my thinking on it.

Maybe, just maybe it is down to the CO2 emission's put out by each vehicle which is making the Mjet cheaper.

According to a website i have just been looking at the mjet/tjet put out the following figures:

CO2 emmissions

Mjet 154 g/km
Tjet 155 g/km

That's the only thing i can think of which would make mjet cheaper to insure, for you at least maybe. But who knows, insurance companies are very confusing.
