I believe it all changes again next year so new cars do have to pay rfl charge?However I seem to recall it's not retrospective,so cars with £0 rfl now will still be £0.Classic cars are on a rolling exemption of 40yrs old or something?

Just one small step from destitution.

No such thing I'm afraid .. and not since 1955 ... correct term is Vehicle Excise Duty, as it had nowt to do with roads whatsoever. 

As to having to "pay" £0.00, it is simply a way of keeping track of the vehicle AND ITS OWNER .. otherwise you could get rid of the car without informing DVLA, and they would never know. If you think about it fully, it actually makes a lot of sense .. look at it as "free registration" ...

We know  . Even the government knows, hence if you search for RFL, the top of the list is https://www.gov.uk/calculate-vehicle-tax-rates

It's all a load of rubbish these car tax band things, 2.8T Signum is £45/m, yet a 3.0 BMW in a 2 Series is £20/m

Punishing people for using older cars, just because they are a tad dirtier.

It's not a case of being dirtier, it's based on some random figure (co2). Everyone knows tractors are the "dirtiest" and most harmful. Technically, my 232k 3.0l is cleaner than your 2.0 tractor by some margin, but ved doesn't reflect that

I suspect it won't be long before it does, though.

Tricky with a road (and diesel based) economy. Nothing viable has appeared to replace it, on a commercial scale at least for commercial vehicles.

Personally I'd have no problem buying a diesel ATM, I reckon there's at least a decade left in it before we truly start to make a move to kill the vehicles off (rather than just saying we want to). After all, 2017's VED shakeup was the perfect opportunity to do it if the government wished it so. In truth, it's barely had any impact. In fact, the biggest losers (in absolute terms) have been the high value electrics/hybrids which breach the £40k marker. Some encouragement to "go green" 

The diesels will have "bought themselves" in fuel savings long before they're taxed off the road.
