Not Panda-related, but does anyone know how the new (post-April 2017) vehicle excise duty rules work with pre-reg cars and ex demos? The charts show a variable figure for the first year, which increases depending on CO2. Is this higher figure only payable on first registration, or is it also payable if you buy a nearly-new vehicle within one year of it being registered? My other half is looking at Volvos to replace her horrid V50. Some versions have quite high First Year tax levels, so I'm thinking that a nearly-new example would be an attractive option if, as a pre-regd vehicle, it would only be subject to the £140 flat rate. (Some massive pre-reg savings to be had over new, too, and some incredible PCH deals on the bigger models - the Chinese owners must be pouring money hand over fist into the brand).
