2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Zermatt Silver

VED question

Hi all

Just doing a little research and wondered what folk are paying for their yearly VED on their 2.2 Puma CSW’s?

I’ve seen a 63 plate Puma 90 CSW in an auction but when I put it into a few of the HPI checking sites I’m getting two figures for yearly VED?

It’s coming in at either £335 per year or £760…

It’s classed as N1 and was registered November 2013.

N1 is the lower figure, provided that it is exactly that, N1 class.

So it would pay to get that 100% clarified.
N1 typically is PU, HCPU and HT.
(Commercial)

SW’s are I believe M1 class, at least I believe as far as I know it’s called M1 and that’s the higher rate.

Here’s the description provided by the auction house:

“Date of first registration November 2013, Cylinder capacity 2198 cc, CO₂ emissions 269 g/km, Fuel type DIESEL, Vehicle type approval N1, Wheelplan 2 AXLE RIGID BODY, Revenue weight 2505 kg”

Thought all the later Puma’s were N1 - Commercial and hence the lower VED rate??

Yes, roughly after late 2012 all are N1 and lower tax. But N1 is also higher insurance than a M1. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

BrickBox, yes I saw that insurance jumped up a bit. I just assumed that it was because it was a newer Defender than I've had before.

They work out roughly the same in the end. If you pay more (M1) tax, you pay less insurance. Or pay less tax (N1) and you’ll pay more insurance.

So my advice is to just buy the best example you see, rather than age for tax purposes. There’s also the argument that the later ones are rusting quicker since Land Rover knew they were ending production, so spent less on corrosion protection. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

I have noticed that a lot of later 2.2 Puma's have quite serios corrosion issues around the windscreen frame? Yes, the build quality during the last few years of production was fairly shocking at times..
