On a positive note my 160,000 mile 7 year old T8 has zero annual road tax.
On a negative note I spent £11,000 last year repairing it. Some you win, some you lose.....

When the scheme was introduced, lots of cars were under £40k.
Now, in 2023... £40k doesn't buy much! |

My T8 Ultimate would be £560 but to me it is £0.00.
There again I am disabled. |

I specced my V60 to £20 under the £40k for this reason, and bought the spare wheel as a dealer accessory separately, to keep to this.
In hindsight, although I love my car and I'm happy with the spec I've got, I've often thought that, actually, spreading the cost over the direct debit payments over the year, you wouldn't necessarily notice it too much, so perhaps I should have gone for a more expensive model, or had that metallic paint! As mentioned above, if I ever buy another new car, then I don't expect I'll have much choice in exceeding the £40k these days though.

If you look at in the long term just over £10 per week for unlimited use of the road network albeit one that is not in the best shape.
Looking at it another way 5p per mile for 12,000 miles is £600 per year.

Just been looking at RFL rates. If I understand the .gov website correctly, it would appear that the premium for cars over 40k does not apply to zero emissions vehicles? Is that correct to other peoples understanding?

This is due to change from April 2025 as announced in this year’s Budget…the unusual thing in the announcement was that the charge will be backdated and include EVs all ready registered. Normally these type of tax changes apply to vehicles registered from that date (remember the rush to get vehicles over £40,000 registered by 31 March 2017? to avoid the additional RFL).
