How much to tax a Ford Ranger 2.0 privately?

I'm thinking of buying a Ford Ranger Wildtrak (2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel, 205hp, 10-speed automatic).

I would like to know what it costs to tax this privately. I know if you have a VAT number or herd number it's €333. I have been to three different Ford garages and got three different answers.

a) It falls into tax band with CO2 of 171-190g/km, which is €790 a year;

b) It falls into 191-225g/km, which is €1,250 a year and;

c) It has a 2.0-litre engine which costs €710 a year to tax

Can you confirm please?
