    This Saturday was the first time I have had to tax my mini cooper s. Nothing strange there, it's a normal cost for the pleasure of driving your car. I had to tax my 'other' car at the same time, so off I went to the post office.
    Maybe I have been living in a cave but I did not expect them to be the same price and I certainly did not expect it to be £104.50p for 6 months!!
    Left there feeling like it must be some kind of sick joke or maybe they made an error?

    Its all based on emissions these days, and a Cooper S is hardly the greenest of cars....

    Plus paying for 2x6 months has always been much more expensive than 1x12 months.

    Here is a list of the current costs.

    As an aside - doing the tax renewal online is SO much easier (and thats not just because my work built the system that does it )

    It's sickening! I expected it to be about £70 if I am honest. Saying that I am extremely tight these days and grudge these running costs.

    Are you sure? I was under the impression that the Cooper missed that band by 1g/km and was £150

    Checks V5 - 2005 Cooper - 166 g/km - yep £150
