Default More on VW Cheatware

I wonder what will happen if whatever they do increases emissions and
moves the car into a higher VED band.


That depends whether the VED band is determined by "that car of this
model and engine we tested ten years ago", or whether there's a
procedure for re-testing a whole class of car (re-issuing V5s and all
the other stuff).

As the VED bands were introduced to influence buying decisions for
*new* cars, most of the original point of re-classifying them would be
lost.


The government has announced today that affected cars will not be re-
banded for higher taxation.
