Mazda MPV road tax, COE and insurance for Singapore owners

For owners and used buyers of the Mazda MPV: the Category B COE, road tax on the 2.0 DI Turbo and dated insurance prices from 5 insurers.

The Mazda MPV is a people mover from the brand's past range. It is no longer sold new, so this guide is for owners and families weighing a used one. It goes through the COE, road tax and car insurance in Singapore.

The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They show how prices compare. Your own quote will depend on your details.

Versions on the quote form

The new-car list has no entry for the Mazda MPV on sale now. So this guide gives no list price, power figure or body type from that list.

The price page's quote form names two versions:

  • MPV 2.0 DI Turbo (1,998cc)
  • MPV 2.3 (2,261cc)

The insurance prices below are for the 2.0 DI Turbo, the version most insurers quote. If yours is the 2.3, give that when you ask for a quote.

COE

The price page puts the 2.0 DI Turbo in Category B, since its 1,998cc engine is above 1,600cc. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.

On a used MPV, look at the COE years left. They shape the car's value and when you face a renewal decision. The COE page shows the latest results.

Road tax

For the 1,998cc engine, LTA's formula gives S$1,209.76 a year, before any age surcharge. The 2.3 has a larger engine, so its road tax is higher. The road tax page works that out.

On older cars, a surcharge is added:

  • Over 10 years: +10%
  • Over 11 years: +20%
  • Over 12 years: +30%
  • Over 13 years: +40%
  • Over 14 years: +50%

Insurance for the standard driver

The Mazda MPV price page prices one set of details:

  • Car: MPV 2.0 DI Turbo, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
  • Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
  • Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
  • Repairs: authorised workshop, no options

5 insurers price it online, across eight plans. The lowest premium is S$869.05 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,372.32, marked as an estimate. That is S$503.27 more, or 58% on top. The dearest plan is S$1,715.40. All prices include 9% GST.

The next plan after the lowest costs S$972.55. Four of the eight plans are estimates, so check which figures are firm.

Excess on these plans

Excesses run from S$500 to S$1,200. The lowest premium carries the S$1,200 excess. The second lowest carries S$500. So the gap of about a hundred dollars in premium comes with a larger gap in what you would pay on a claim. Weigh the two together.

One more insurer does not list the Mazda MPV on its online quote.

How the lowest price moves

From the price page, the lowest price after one change:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,998.81, S$1,129.76 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,460, S$590.95 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,095.48, S$1,226.43 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving, 50% NCD: S$1,063.73, S$194.68 more, with 4 insurers pricing
  • New car, registered this year: S$924.51, S$55.46 more
  • Car 8 years old: S$850.55, S$18.50 less

The young driver case is the costliest, up 141%. That is close to two and a half times the standard price. No NCD more than doubles it as well. Car age makes little difference.

For a family car, the driver lines matter most. If a younger family member will drive the MPV, name them on the quote.

The page's standard car is 3 years old, much younger than most of these MPVs. The 8-year-old line is the nearer guide. For a much older car, fewer insurers may quote, so ask for prices on your own car's exact age and details.

Beside similar cars

For the same driver and car age, the price page compares six cars with engines near 2 litres:

Their average lowest price is S$844.64. The Mazda MPV costs 3% more. Four of the six are cheaper to insure, and the two Lexus models cost more. The Toyota Voxy, another people mover, comes in lower and is priced by 14 insurers.

Other Mazda models are on the Mazda car insurance page. The cheapest cars to insure list shows the low end of the market.

Costs you work out yourself

  • Parking: season parking at home and elsewhere. A long MPV needs a full-size bay.
  • Petrol: depends on distance, load and pump prices.
  • ERP: depends on your routes.
  • Repairs: on an older people mover, sliding doors, suspension and other wear items can come due. Ask for the service history.
  • Depreciation: mostly tied to the COE years left.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Mazda MPV 2.0 DI Turbo:

  • Road tax: S$1,209.76 a year before any age surcharge (LTA's formula, checked 19 October 2026)
  • Insurance, standard driver: from S$869.05 a year (1 November 2026)
  • Insurance, no NCD: from S$1,998.81
  • Insurance, a car 8 years old: from S$850.55

For reference, Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
