cheap cars to buy in ireland
Is the MOT for cars recognised in the Republic of Ireland, or does a car purchased in Britain need an NCT??
I’m thinkinng of buying a car. I live in Dublin, however cars tend to be cheaper in Britain, therefore i was gonna buy in Northern Ireland. But will i need to get it NCT’ed immediately in the Republic, whether it has a valid MOT or not?
Cheers, Gav.
If it is of the required age etc. where an NCT is needed then it has to have one. I’m living in the UK now and went the other way with an Irish vehicle.
However, you will be able to drive the English purchase under UK law on the UK plates while you are sorting things out. So don’t panic just yet! Slán
