How does it affect someone who passed SVA last year ?
Car first registered 2007, engine from 1985 ?
I have a strange feeling I'm going to be much worse off 
I'll see if i can search for any info

From how understood it your emissions are based on the age of the engine (hence why I had all of the grief proving my engines age) so the tax will be
based on the engine age too.
If not then my tax may be a tad expensive when it comes up in July

For SVAd cars the tax will ALWAYS be based on engine size as if the vehicle was pre-2001. The modern system of taxing based on CO2 cannot be applied
as there is no way of working out the grammes per kilometer figure required.
Measuring the g/km is an incredibly involved procedure requiring a chassis dyno capable of going though the EU drive-cycle and exhaust gas collection
and analysis equipment.
