I am working on importing a car from Japan. I'm looking at a 2022 Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 diesel. Code is 3DA-A1DFF. The exact car code (3DA-A1DFF) shows up on a VRT check on ROS, therefore someone has previously imported one from Japan.
Where can I get NOx data as this figure would be crucial when importing a diesel T-Roc? I am finding it difficult to get NOx data for this model from the Japanese MLIT website. Will Volkswagen Europe provide this information for me, and will this be acceptable for VRT purposes?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I want to buy a Toyota Hilux, purely for towing a horsebox. I have a car already in my name that will remain as my day-to-day get around. I am floored at the thought of paying over €1,000 tax per year for something that will only be used at the weekends and the odd job of bringing hay and feed up from the co-op.
Is there any way I can commercially tax this? I have an equine herd number and am one of probably the few genuine cases where I will only be using it with a horsebox attached.
Downfalls of a 2004 Toyota Corolla?
So recently I was driving and when I got around a corner my front passenger-side brake felt like it was engaged and took me to a stop. I had to get the car towed, and it is unable to be pushed in neutral as well as driven in reverse or drive. Not sure what's wrong or what I should do to it as it's all-wheel drive as well.
Hi,
I am currently looking to move to the UK and bring my car with me. I was wondering if I would be able to get a rough estimate on how much it would cost to change my car from Irish plates to UK plates?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Could you please advise how much Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) I would need to pay for my 2017 Renault Twizy 80 full electric (A or B1 driver category)? The vehicle is currently registered in Lithuania under my name, and I now wish to register it in Ireland.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Kind regards,
With regards to the Mazda6e, I wonder what driver assist functions it offers. I read level 2 but is it comparable to what for instance the Xpeng G6 offers? In other words, can the car self-correct and stay in lane on highways etc?
