Punto (Mk2/2b) 2004 punto van road tax

[steve6658]

Just registered so hello to all!!!!
I am about to buy a Fiat Punto van 1.3 Multijet JTD, first registered 1st April 2004.It has a 1248cc engine.
I have checked the reg no. with DVLA and it says the annual road tax should be 225 pounds. Can this be right or was the van wrongly registered in 2004?
Any help is much appreciated and thank you for reading this post. Steve

Its commercial tax banded rather than domestic

Thanks for the reply Andy. Have they got rid of private and light goods then?

I'm sure the 1.3 multijet is euro 4 compliant so should be a bit cheaper but I guess the dvla would be the ones in the know, seems you'd be better off buying a punto car 1.3 instead with it's £30 road tax

same for combo vans
silly really
best advice is buy a diesel car and cage in the back if insurers allow
we pay enough taxes already unless we are mps with priusks
