Thoughts on this Ford Kuga?
Is a 2017 Ford Kuga 2.0 ST-line diesel a good car? It has 80,000 miles on the clock. And would you recommend a new cambelt at this mileage before I buy?
Thanks

Will I get a full year of NCT even though it's late?
I have bought a car without a valid NCT, and it was lapsed from September 2025. I want to NCT this vehicle at the end of January 2026. Will I get a full year's pass as the new owner or only from September 2025?
Thanks

Will I go electric or hybrid?
Hi,
I'm thinking of changing my car and trying to decide whether to buy a new EV or a hybrid. I live in Dublin and don't do a lot of mileage, maybe 7-8k kilometres a year, but I do like the odd driving trip to various parts of Ireland.
I've only looked at the MG so far, and I'm pretty impressed to be honest. Would you have some advice to help with my decision-making process, please?

I need more space than my 2019 Volvo S90 has...
Hi,
I've a 2019 Volvo S90 D4 Momentum at 118k km. Great car: comfortable, refined, good specification, safe. I have two kids (13 and 7), 'herself' and a Labrador. We need more boot space.
My budget is €15k ish. A 2019 XC90 is very expensive for same year as the S90 and doesn't look as good/elegant. The 2021 XC60 is a possibility.
A 2021 V90 is probably the most sensible, but does it offer more space and practicality? Not a great fan of Volvo's combination petrol and electric in the Recharge models due to reliability.
I'd consider Lexus but well used to Volvo.
What do you think?
Thanks

VW ID.4 or T-Roc, or Skoda Octavia?
Hi guys,
Looking for your thoughts on my next car. Currently in the mix are VW ID.4, VW T-Roc 1.5 petrol and Skoda Octavia 1.5 MHEV. I drive into the city three times weekly, approx. 90km total and the occasional jaunt cross country.
I have my own driveway and parking/charging in work. I'm looking at 242/251 versions of all the above cars and I'll be paying cash.
Everyone tells me to go fully electric, but I am drawn to the look of the Skoda (not keen on the SUV look).
Any thoughts or should I be looking at something totally different? Appreciate any direction.
