DOE needed for 07 car?

engrish?

Hi,

I sent in the form to get my car taxed and they returned it saying I need to submit a DOE pass statement from an approved DOE test centre along with a fee of €6.

My car is a 07, I thought I didnt need an NCT for 3 years? Do I need to get it tested?


Its a commercial pick up

What type of car is it. Is it a car van of sorts?

That's the key. Commercials need an annual DOE test, even from new I think.

Brand new Taxis need a DOE for example.

You dont do NCT on commercials. You need doe test. This has to be carried out every year but not until 2 years old I think, an 07 will certainly need a DOE cert now.

€85 last year. It's a total rip off

F*CK! This f*cking truck is the biggest mistake I ever made.

all commercials, even small vans have to be doe'd every year after the first year.cost about 90yo yos provided the tester doesnt find fault with the vehicle,if so you must get the fault rectified and bring it back to the tester within 1?week for another test but at no charge, provided the repairs are ok. i got caught with a one year old van that failed the doe test and needed work done to it,they even said one of the wipers was faulty and that in itself was enough to fail,oh surprise surprise they could supply a new wiper if i wanted.imo its another rip off ,as most commercials particularly the smaller ones are perfectly good if maintained, (tyres, brakes etc) for at least 3 years before needing attention.

Considering the tax is substantially less I don't really think its that big of a deal.
