How much to tax an imported MINI?

If I bring a 2004 MINI home, how much will road tax be for its 1.6-litre petrol engine?

Hi John,

A pre-2008 car being imported means that it’s on the new CO₂-based system. A 2004 MINI Cooper 1.6 has CO₂ emissions of 163g/km so you’ll be paying €570 a year to tax it.
