To Pay The Vrt Or Not?

What year?

I think i gave around 6 or 800 for my 94 valver 3 years ago

How or why will it cost 2k to put through a test? I wouldn't be happy driving something that needed that much work no matter what plates it's on!

i'm joking..!!!so far there's a good bit of cash after been spent on this car to have her right, online vrt quote was 847 but since it's been in the country over a year i have to pay 1354 which is pretty steep... What I want to know guys is what type of reg plates should i put on it.. German style etc.. All suggestions welcome and pics welcome..cheersQUOTE

Does it have an MOT or was it SORN?

And yea I hate those VRT quotes with a passion.

Lol..it had an Mot up until september of last year..why u ask??

Nothing really, just thinking about your point, after paying vrt then having to get loads of work done. It it had MOT then it would ease the mind a bit, this coming from importing an idle car and vrting it and then having to do loads of work to it.

What was the reason for the excess VRT, just that it was in the country for a while , or was it back tax?

Sorry to be a prick but if you've had it in country and not paid VRT then it's time to cough up.

It was mot'd up until last september and the car itself has only done 6000 miles since 2004, have all previous mot's here - and on it's last mot the only advisory was a slightly corroded rear brake pipe which has been replaced- it's just the nct is supposedly a lot stricter than the uk equivalent.

Why cough up? sure vrt is illegal anyway isnt is? Ireland have to pay a fine to europe every year for vrt! would'nt satisfy the Irish Government by paying after srewing us over!!
But at the end of the day you'll eventually get stopped any may have to pay more.....

Not 100% customs yes, guards could stop you for tax I suppose and nct if your a resident in the south with a northern car?
