The 2028 mileage tax — 3p a mile on electric cars, read off the clock at the MOT — just made used diesels valuable again.
I'm Ted, and the auction lanes have been my classroom for years — long enough to have watched diesel fall once already. This time it is rising. Three pence a mile from 2028, read off the clock at the MOT, and it applies to used cars too with no exemption. Thirty thousand miles a year is nine hundred pounds on top of everything that driver already pays. I'll be straight with you: a home-charged EV still wins the sum. But not everybody has a driveway, and the trade has noticed. Here are the seven it started buying again.
Inside this one:
✔ How the 2028 per-mile charge actually works
✔ Why it applies to used electric cars too, with no exemption
✔ The 7 diesels the trade started buying again
The hammer doesn't lie — learn to read it before you buy.
