MINI COOPER D CONGESTION CHARGE FREE
New legislation that comes into effect in October 2008, means drivers of vehicles emitting less than 120g/km will be Congestion Charge exempt. Drivers of cars emitting between 120g/km and 225g/km will continue to pay the standard £8 a day fee, while those driving vehicles that record more than 225g/km will pay an increased daily charge of £25.
The change in charging structure means MINI owners will be financially better off than owners of other prestige cars. All MINIs will remain within the £8 threshold, but there was further good news for many MINI owners. The MINI Cooper D and the MINI Clubman D all fall into the new sub 120g/km Congestion Charge free bracket.
This means that from October 2008 an owner of one of these models will save £2,040 a year driving in the capital compared to owners of non-exempt rival products.
