How much to tax Nissan X-Trai privately?

I'm thinking of buying a 2006 2.0-litre Nissan X-Trail. It's currently taxed commercially; how much would the tax be if I taxed it as a private car?

Hi Ray,

Generally speaking, if you re-tax a commercial vehicle as a passenger car, you revert to the old by-engine-capacity tax, which, with a 2.0-litre engine, would cost you €710 per year. If that X-Trail is a converted passenger car, you could of course return it to full passenger car status, which would cost you the same in tax per year, as it’s a pre-2008 car.
