The Sub-100g/km Club
Annual vehicle tax can be a significant part of a car’s running costs. The rate of road tax or, to give it its official name, Vehicle Excise Duty, is determined by a car’s CO2 emissions. The lower the CO2 emissions the less you have to pay.
Some cars offer the first year free, but incur a charge thereafter. But others, if the CO2 is low enough, allow owners to renew the VED free of charge year after year. The current threshold for that is 100g/km and a surprisingly high number of cars now qualify.

Mitsubishi Mirage
CO2 emissions from 96g/km
There’s not a lot to get excited about when it comes to the Mitsubishi Mirage – it’s far from the most exciting car on sale, and rivals manage to do most things better. That said, it’s simple, has low emissions and should prove reasonably reliable.
