Hi. Can anyone help I got my levorg in February. A Japanese import couple of years back. I taxed it and payed £355. Never gave it a second thought. Found out yesterday the road tax should be twenty quid. I did a live chat DVLA and was told they did not have any co2 emmisions details for the car and hence the £355 charge. I asked what could I do to sort it and got told I need to go back to the manufacturer. Has anybody in the club had a similar issue if so did they resolve it. And how. Thanks all in anticipation of the way forward

No way should your road tax come out at £20, you've been misinformed. My daughters KIA Picanto 1.0 2015 is £20 road tax, because all cars below 1.0 litres and emissions below 99kg/m of CO2 were charged at that rate back then. The only Subaru in 2015 that would hit that figure would be one with a non running engine, I'm afraid, Col.
