From 1st April 2020, a more accurate way of testing vehicle CO2 emissions will be introduced for all new vehicles.
The Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) is a new measuring process for determining a vehicle’s official fuel consumption, range and CO2 emissions.
The new WLTP method reflects better real driving conditions to provide a more accurate representation of your vehicle's emissions and fuel economy. Unfortunately, the NEDC method of testing has now become outdated and does not provide an accurate interpretation of your vehicle.
This change takes effect from 1st April for VED (Vehicle Excise Duty or Road Tax) and 6th April for Benefit in Kind on Company Car Tax. Because the WLTP test is more stringent, the results are more realistic and this could mean an increase in road tax for your new car.
Buy a new vehicle before the April 2020 road tax increase and you could save yourself a significant sum on the first year of Vehicle Excise Duty.
If you're considering buying a new Mercedes-Benz, doing so before 1st April 2020 could save you up to £960.
