Is my father right – get a car registered in 2 years?
Good day,
I was just discussing with my father at dinner whether it would still be possible to register a 2008 C-Class in two years. The truth is, he's telling me that C-Classes built between 2000 and, say, 2008 will supposedly no longer be available in Germany in two or three years.
And if you were to buy, say, a C280 in 2025/2026, that car would no longer be registered in two or three years because of emissions and such. Now I'm looking for people who deal with this kind of thing and have some knowledge.
If I buy a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C280 in 2025 or 2026, will it still be registered, so I don't have to worry about anything, or do I?

For the first registration, the car must comply with the standards in safety, exhaust gases and lighting that are valid at the time.
So if you have a car that was built 10 years ago, but until today has not been registered, it looks bad.
If the car was admitted (if it was only 1 day) you can still allow it in 20 years.
So I should look at the car shop that I buy a car that was allowed in the same year? So you mean registering?
No, at all ever, no matter when. rolled and stored by the band and never not allowed.
No. The one car stop was even allowed except it is a current new car
It confirms my question. He must have been admitted before, in the case one says in the same year.
Yeah, that confirms my question with a yes. I have to see that it is a car that was still allowed in the same year (if you say so).
Any vehicle that has been legally authorised may be subject to any risk as long as it is safe to transport
What exactly does traffic safe mean? When would it not be traffic-proof?
It must have a valid main examination
Bullshit. If you want, you get 50 years old old old cars.
So in 2025/26 I can buy a C280 and get it approved?
Of course
Of course, the car is approved. However, it would be possible that he can no longer drive anywhere – especially if it is a diesel. But of course, this is true for all diesel – I must not go to Stuttgart (only as an example!) There, of course, I am allowed to use my 43-year-old motorcycle, which has no exhaust gas control at all.
Of course, the 2008-er Benz also needs Tüv!
So you think I should look after a C208 that drinks gasoline?
Not necessarily! There are only a few cities with diesel ban. Do I have to?
This is also a nice car.
Right! Some major cities have banned diesel, but I don’t know what it is.
My diesel (E320 CDI) is also 20 years old and therefore at the best age. I will have many years of joy
Oh, but what about countries? You have to look there, right?
Nonsense, that would also be unique in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, something never existed. It is also possible to allow even today cars that not at all Catalysts and blow their dirt unfiltered, only the tax is a monthly wage or something. Except of course he has an old-time registration, but I don’t mean that.
This is also the only thing that the Benz then costs significantly more taxes.
I want to buy a Mercedes-Benz C280 V6 in 2025/26, so this is the exact model name. It’s just my wish / dream car. I love this car. And if I buy a normal one that has not been rebuilt now, how high is the KFZ tax?
Like you, I wouldn’t express it.. However, this is a so-called existing vehicle, which was already approved at least once and is then still capable of being approved.
If your father’s opinion is correct, the rules of law should be changed again. This, in turn, involves an intervention in the fundamental rights of the citizen and thus speak back to the basic law.
What the legislators up to two three years do not know, but in the current legal situation is the So.
For all cars, if approved for the first time, it must comply with the approval requirements.
After that it can be registered as desired – and re-registered as long as it passed the TÜV exam.
However, if you want to buy and register a brand new vehicle that has never been registered, it must meet the current requirements. This will not be possible with an old vehicle.
In a usual used car: no problem. You may not go anywhere; Environmental zones, for example, lack of environmental plaque.
Once the car has been approved, you can easily allow it with a valid HU/AU certificate.
