Looking at buying a Suzuki Jimny...

Hi there,

 am looking at purchasing a 2024 Suzuki Jimny for private use. I can either purchase the two-seat LCV model and insure and tax it privately or I could go for the more expensive four-seat Sierra import model (Japanese domestic model I believe) that some dealers in Ireland are offering.

Would the imported model have to undergo an NCT rather than a CVRT? And if so, would it fail on emissions as this is why Suzuki no longer sell them as private vehicles I believe?
