What is the correct VED rate for my 2007 Alfa Romeo 156?
I'm considering buying a 2007 Alfa 156 Selespeed Twinspark (1970cc). This is one of a small number of twinsparks that were sold by Alfa after the introduction of the JTS engine. I believe the CO2 emissions for the twinspark engine are 207 g/Km, thereby attracting a VED rate of £245. However, if I enter the car's registration number onto the DVLA car check site, they show a CO2 of 244 (tax rate £425). Any idea who's right please?

Go by whatever the CO2 rating is shown on the car's V5C, which will be the same as that on the DVLA Car Check site.
