Hi,

I just bought a 2012 Range Rover Evoque with 79,000 miles on it; when do I have to change the timing belt on this car please?

What value for a Ford Fusion 1.4 diesel with 87,000km on the clock?

Is there any cause for concern in any way in the short/long run, for example the size of the engine vs the amount of mileage accumulated in such a short space of time for a Kia Picanto, 1.0 Smart model (engine displacement: 998cc), registered in 2019?

The odometer stands at just under 20,000km (in less than five months). It is said to have been used as a test drive vehicle. (The attraction to this vehicle is that it is the top of its range model at a decent price compared to a brand new car.)

Which would you buy an Audi A6 S line or BMW 520d? Cars are both 2015 models.

Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me how much VRT will I pay on a Ford Mondeo that is 10 months old? It's up for £17,000.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am looking for a new estate car and would like to hear your opinion. I have been driving an Octavia Combi (1.6-litre TDI diesel, Ambition) for the past six years. I do approx. 25,000km per year, not many of those on the motorway. I really like the Skoda but would prefer something with a little more power and spec. I am thinking a 2.0-litre diesel in a high spec and have my eye on a one-to -two-year-old Superb or Passat. Any advice when choosing between those two? Also, I see if I go maybe one year older I could get an Audi A4 Avant. Would the A4 be a better option for comfort/spec over the other two?

Interested to hear your opinion.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking to import a vehicle from the UK, older than six months old and with more than 6,000km on the clock. I have a primary medical cert and will be modifying the car. My questions is relating to VAT-qualifying or non-qualifying, which should I be looking for?

I got a letter of exemption to change my British registered car to an Irish registered one, but now I have a problem with as I want to trade it in against another, but there's a restriction by Revenue. How do I get over this?

Selfishly, I would like a head-turning vehicle, that's a comfortable ride and stylish. Unselfishly, I need to consider older parents that can get into the vehicle fairly easily and be comfortable in the back. Prepared to pay for the luxury but looking for right choice. Don't drive many miles a year, with a mix of motorway and urban. Petrol or hybrid seems sensible option. Have looked at SUVs briefly including Macan and Maserati, but not sure these are best buys? Looking for recommendations for a nice sized vehicle for up to four people.

Hi there,

My Dad has recently stopped driving; he's 88 and his mobility has become an issue. Can I apply for a primary med cert and claim back VAT and VRT on a new car? I am an only child and his only means of transportation. Also, how much would the allowance be on a car worth €40,000, for example?

Thanks for your time, John
