Volkswagen Golf road tax questions
What 12-month tax figures are recorded for a Volkswagen Golf?

How many Volkswagen Golf variants are listed?
The table lists 1,036 recorded variants, split across pages of 50 where there are more than 50.
Which Golf years are included?
These road tax records cover 1980–2025.
What is the average recorded Volkswagen Golf 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.

No. These specification records include 24 different annual amounts, from £20 to £760. They are not a quote of the current DVLA bill.
