What's MG's seven-year warranty like?
Good morning.
I like your really comprehensive review of the MGS5 EV. I'm considering buying one of them and I like the seven-year warranty, but how good is this warranty? I've had a car that had a seven-year warranty but the garage quibbled and refused to cover issues that I fully expected to be resolved.
Kind regards and thanks

I'm missing data to import a Ford Mondeo...
I have a Ford Mondeo 2.0 Hybrid which was manufactured in 2019 but was in Germany from 2019 until 2023 and first registered to a private individual in Northern Ireland in 2023. The CO2 values and the NOx values are not on the V5 and having obtained the CoC from Ford (proper water marked and signed) they are not on it either. How would you import this to ROI without these values showing on the V5 or the genuine original CoC?

Do I only pay VRT on a 1991 import?
Hello, hope you are keeping well.
I have the intention of purchasing a vehicle from NI. The car in question is a Golf Mk2 GTD 1.6 diesel from 1991. Is it true that I only have to pay €200 for the VRT? What about NOx levy? I understand that for diesel engines it can get quite expensive.
Thank you in advance.

Can I change my Mazda2's seats?
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?

Will this imported car be counted as new or used?
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.

Is an MOT history enough to avoid VAT etc from NI?
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
