JetSet Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 You can get some data from the DVLA website https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPo ... ution=e1s1 Good info, thanks, I checked out my Escort RS Turbo that I bought in 1989 and sold in 2001 and was amazed to see that it was taxed as recently as July 2011.

Pete Wow... thats good, since most of those either were crashed or rotted away! My brother checked all his ex cars over the w/end, he had no end of hot hatches, incl an escort rs2000 (1996 i think it was). The only one left on the road is an old 1994 Clio 16v!!!! Which supprised us a bit"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What an entertaining way to spend 5 minutes My old H reg Audi Coupe is still being taxed but my last car, a VW Gold GT TDi doesn't have any info. I'm pleased the old Coupe is still running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What an entertaining way to spend 5 minutes Indeed, I've been checking back through some of our old cars. Some very interesting things came out. Seems that the average life is around 12 years, after my RS Turbo the next longest lasting car was the Capri 2.8i at 17 years, the worst...hmmm a Datsun Cherry at just 8 years, Caroline's former MR2 Turbo is still going strong after 18 years, so is her 2002 Audi TT Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
