Hi,

A VW garage in Belfast says that I won't have to pay VAT on an EV they imported from UK mainland on a English plate when I bring it south as they can provide me with some form/ document saying it has been brought in according to the Windsor agreement. He said he's done this ten times this year already.

Will our pals in the NCT centres accept this?

Thank you

How can I get the CO2 emissions and Nox for a car imported from Japan? It didn't come included in the documents like the export certificate. Needed next week for VRT. Nobody seems to know anything.

Hello, wondering if you could help with my query, please. Thinking of buying a used car from NI. First registration was in UK in 2021. Second buyer was a resident of NI, and he registered that car in Dec 2022 in Belfast. First MOT was passed in NI in Jan 2025. Could you please confirm if this car would be exempt from VAT and custom duties?

Thank you.

Kind regards

I'm thinking of purchasing a Dacia Bigster. What are your thoughts?

How do I determine whether my Ford Kuga has a timing belt or chain?

Have you heard of issues with the brake servos of Honda hybrids? I have a recently bought a Japanese import Honda Shuttle from 2020, low mileage. I am now getting intermittent faults; seems the brake servo is faulty and is not giving proper feedback to the brake pedal.

Thanks

I'm thinking of importing a Ford Transit Custom crew cab from Northern Ireland into the Republic of Ireland. There are three seats in the back. I'd like to know the costs of import.

Hi,

I bought a car in Northern Ireland that has been in the North from 2019, and I am getting the MOT history to prove that. What else do I need?

I am looking for NOx and CO2 emissions certificate for chassis No. YV1UZA8MCL1548659 Type. LDA-ID4204TXC. It's a Volvo XC60.

Hi,

I am trying to find out what the NOx emissions are on a 2012 'E92' BMW 320d Coupe which is a Euro 5-compliant car. This information seems very difficult to find anywhere online.
