There is no tax on small cars.

I must be imagining paying VED for a 600cc car and an 1100cc car, then...

There are petrol and diesel cars with zero ved.
I frequently drive a smart with zero ved.

What 600 cc car has ved on it, some old thing that doesn't qualify
because of its age?

A Smart first registered before 1st March 2001

12 months VED is £140.00

New smarts are zero.
Its because Mercedes haven't done the required tests and submitted the
results.

It was the same with my wife astra, it did more mpg and had less
emissions than ones on half the VED.
