What Are Low Mileage Suspended Vehicles?


Low-mileage suspended vehicles are heavy vehicles that travel less than 5,000 miles per year on public highways or less than 7,500 miles yearly for agricultural vehicles. They are not subject to the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) if accurate mileage records are submitted to the IRS for suspension.

How To Determine If Your Vehicle Qualifies For Low Mileage Suspended Vehicles Category?



To determine if your vehicle qualifies for the low mileage suspended vehicle category, you must verify if it travels less than 5,000 miles per year on public highways or less than 7,500 miles per year if it's an agricultural vehicle. Keep accurate records of your vehicle's mileage and submit them to the IRS when filing for the HVUT suspension.

  • Keep accurate records

    Keep an accurate record of the mileage traveled by your vehicle and maintain it up-to-date to ensure you have the necessary information when filing.
