Can you clear up this grey area on importing from the North?
I'm looking to import an EV from Northern Ireland. Budget 2026 continues the €5k VRT reduction/exemption on EVs until end of 2026. Windsor Framework applicable to EVs registered prior to 1 January 2021 and used in Northern Ireland for at least six months? So, charges applicable on a 2020 EV upon import from Northern Ireland to Republic?
I know I asked this previously in 2024 when looking at a BMW i3s to replace our VW Passat with an EV for me to commute, but the wife was hesitant to have me in a small car on the back roads, though the i3 has a carbon structure so no safety cell issues. Anyway, being used to the spacious Passat we got a nice Arteon (2.0 TSI 4Motion that likes a drink) so all the more reason with budget hike on fuel to get back to economical commuting.
Thanks

What documents do I need to show a car was owned in NI?
If importing a car from NI, I see the previous owner from NI must own it a reasonable time. What is that, two months plus?
Also what docs from him will I need?
Thank you

How much to trade-in my Mercedes E-Class for a newer one?

Will my damaged car fail its NCT next month?
I accidentally hit a bollard and got the front passenger door and side skirt with mild scrapes and multiple dents. No jagged edges sustained and no holes. My NCT is on October 27, and I got a quote of €500 for the repair. Will my car fail if I do a DIY scratch removal and touch up minus the dent repair?
Kind regards

How is motor tax on a Transporter determined?
l would like to buy a 5-9-year-old, previously owned diesel VW Transporter with crew cab for family sporting activities. I would be reregistering in ROI so would need to pay VRT. When it comes to motor tax, do I need to classify this as a private vehicle and if so is the yearly tax based on emissions or weight?
