Cost of road tax for 2017 Mits Triton

[Nemises]

Need to send money to a friend (in advance) to allow them to pay for the yearly road tax at the DLT office on my behalf. Anyone know how much it is currently?  Compulsive insurance has already been sorted, just asking about the tax. Thanks.

You'll  have to have a vehicle inspection as well before the road tax can be paid as the vehicle is now 5 years old. Not sure about the road tax as I just paid it for a 2 year old vehicle.

If the car isn't being used Nemises--you can wait until your return--& you will need MOT if a certain age.

Wrong. A vehicle inspection is required only once it is 7 years old, which costs 200 baht. Perhaps you are thinking of a motorcycle inspection which has to be done when it is 5 years old.  So to renew  the tax on the pick-up you will need the compulsory insurance ( unless you not already got it as part of your vehicle insurance ) plus the cost of the tax which for my car last week was 645 baht. The compulsory insurance I believe is also around 700 baht  so @Nemises, better budget for 1500 baht but if the tax has already run out for a while they may well ask you to pay the back tax.

No, 7 years old, only MG's are 5 years.......????

 

I joke, it is 7 years for all cars and trucks, though the cost goes down by about 10% at 5 years old...

All 4 wheel vehicles have different criteria regarding road tax.

Number of doors, engine size, age etc....

it’s a 4 door diesel. 2.5L from memory. Car is not parked up Sanuk, being used by a friend occasionally.
 

5yo car needs to checked over first? Thought it was 7 years for a car?

Thanks ???? all.

No your right it's a 4 door 2.5 but it might have been a 3.2.  ???? ????

 

Remember my 3000 Vigo 4 door 4x4 auto was nearly 7000 baht. 

My 1.9 Isuzu Smartcab is only 1300 baht or there abouts.

My Isuzu is a Smartcab 2 door the back section opens what I know as suicide doors.

I've just looked up what I paid last year for road tax 1,060 baht the CTPL is on top.

You do it when you come back if it's parked up. 

2-door "real" pickups (green script plate) are taxed by empty weight.

Same amount every year. I think the typical 1.5 ton (empty) pickup is about 900 per year.

 

Full 4-door (not the king cab or other tricky stuff) is taxed like a car by displacement and age. First 5 years full amount (much more than 2-door).

After that 10% decrease yearly down to 50%.

Trying to find my old stuff...

 

If things haven't changed a 2.5 liter 4-door would be 4900 in the first five years.

After that down to 2450.
