Prices are rounded to the nearest EUR 250 and mileage to 1,000 km, and every figure is a median over live adverts — not over sales.
What is on the market
Every powertrain with enough adverts in Belgium to publish, largest first. Groups too small to publish are not shown; how the thresholds work. The share is of the adverts this service holds for Belgium, so it describes the forecourt rather than the national fleet.

Bringing a car into Belgium
What a country charges to put a foreign car on its own plates is usually the largest term in a cross-border comparison: on one identical EUR 15,000 car it runs from about EUR 33 to about EUR 16,000 across Europe. Every figure below carries the document it came from and the date it was last checked. Where we have not verified one, this page says so instead of printing a number.
Registration tax
—Not publishedWe do not yet publish registration tax for this country. Every figure here has to be traceable to an official document we have verified, and we hold no verified source for this charge. It is left blank rather than shown as zero: across Europe this charge runs from about EUR 33 to about EUR 16,000 on the same car, so blanks read as zeroes would make the dearest countries look the cheapest. Treat it as an unknown cost, not an absent one.

VAT
21% VerifiedStandard VAT rate as published by the European Commission's Taxes in Europe database. Shown for reference only. Whether VAT is actually due on a used car depends on the transaction rather than on the country, so no VAT charge is calculated anywhere in this service; the cases are set out in the method.
Read from this record in the source database, shown exactly as it was returned:
BE STANDARD DEFAULT 21.0 2026-07-01+02:00 <p>Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Royal Decree n° 20 of 20 July 1970</p>
Tolls and road charges
No general charge VerifiedNo general road charge applies to a passenger car. The Viapass kilometre charge is for goods vehicles over 3.5 t. The Liefkenshoek tunnel in Antwerp tolls all vehicles; its operator's site could not be fetched, so that is stated here rather than priced.
dont la masse maximale autorisée (M.M.A.) dépasse 3,5 tonnes
The limits below are the ones that attach to a worked example: a car first registered in 2019, old enough that no age-based exemption changes the answer. A newer car can be answered differently, and the records above say on what.
- Registration tax in the destination is not covered here. Treat that charge as unknown, not zero.
- Transport, plate and administration fees, VAT treatment and customs duty are not included anywhere in this service. Nothing on this page is a landed cost.
Where these numbers come from
Belgium is one of 23 national markets this service measures daily from public marketplace listings. The published figures are aggregates: a median needs at least 20 adverts behind it, a quartile at least 50, and counts below 500 are published as a band rather than exactly. No advert, seller or individual price is ever published. The full method is here.
