Mercedes-Benz S-Class road tax questions
What 12-month tax figures are recorded for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

The table lists 270 recorded variants, split across pages of 50 where there are more than 50.
Which S-Class years are included?
These road tax records cover 1981–2025.
What is the average recorded Mercedes-Benz S-Class tax figure for 2025 variants?
The average recorded 12-month figure for variants built in 2025 is £195. It comes from the specification record. Older and newer years can differ, and it is not necessarily the amount payable now.
