I am buying a car that is UK-reg, but person has had it in ireland for a year and he has not paid the VRT. Will I have to pay it and any fines?

Hi Umair,
Don’t. Buy. It. Major can of worms. If someone has been breaking the law by driving around in an imported car that hasn’t had its VRT paid, then you do not want to get involved. Plenty of other cars out there, so go and buy one that’s fully above-board and legal.
