Is there another set of front passenger seats available for the Mazda2 hybrid? I have a 2024 Homura model, and my only criticism is that the front seats are not particularly comfortable - I bought it as an ex-demonstrator with 4,700 miles on the clock. Could this explain why?

Purchased a car in Northern Ireland that is originally registered in Northern Ireland. Up for NCT inspection soon. The invoice states 5,480km, though it was 5,557km when it entered the Republic of Ireland at Lifford Co Donegal. Today it reads 6,341km and so will exceed 6,000km on VRT inspection visit. Do I meet the 6,000km rule to avoid VAT? It is seven months old so ok on six-month-age rule.

What is the replacement interval for the timing belt of my SEAT Arona 'DBY' engine?

Hello, regarding importing from NI, I am looking to buy from a private individual. The car arrived in NI from 2019 so there is no customs declaration. It has a record of each MOT in NI though since then. Along with its V5, would that be enough for the Revenue to avoid VAT and customs charges?

Thanks

Why is my 151 VW Caddy €514 to tax for the year? It weighs under 3,000kg so the tax should be €333 instead.

I'm really struggling to choose between the BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV4 and Xpeng G6; if you had to choose one, which would it be?

How do you rate the Renault Austral hybrid?

When does the Jaecoo 7 car go on sale in Ireland?

Hi,

I'm planning on importing a 2020 Honda CR-V 2.0 petrol from Japan. I'm stressing about the VRT, as there are so many horror stories online. The official calculator on Revenue's website indicates VRT around €6k. How reliable is this? I can see that this year is listed online for around €28-29K.

Thank you

Has my 192 Hyundai 1.6 diesel engine a timing belt or chain?
