Tax on a 2012 Passat diesel?
What is the motor tax on a Passat automatic 2 litre diesel 2012
Our answer:
Hi Brendan,
Both the 140hp and the 170hp versions of the 2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI DSG should be in Band B2 (€280 per annum) for road tax, as they emit 135g/km and 139g/km CO2 respectively (assuming the saloon bodyshell).
