    I know that a Cat C is a commercial, so it needs a DOE and commercial tax etc...my question is Cat B ..does this require an NCT or a DOE, Can someone explain the requirements as regards testing, insurance etc...The VRO couldnt tell me what was needed...:confused:

    Surely you know that a car needs an nct every 1/2 years if its over 3 years old.The insurance company might ask for it to get insurance on it.You have to have it to be legal on the road.

    I presume by cat B, you mean EU licence category B?

    Depends on if it's a classed as commercial or private vehicle.

    I don't think he was asking about licence categories.
    It's probably about VRT vehicle categories.
    Cat. A is cars.
    B is car derived and jeep derived vans.
    C is big vans, lorries, tractors, busses, etc.

    To answer the question - Vehicles of category B needs to have DOE done every year.
    NCT only applies to vehicles category A.

    Not sure about tax though, especially after recent information.
    Normally vehicles category B had commercial tax.
    But i'm not sure if they can be taxed as private, if someone want's to use them privately.

    Surely you know that it's every 2 years at present (for cars over 4 years old), and that the yearly test (for cars over 10 years old) does not come into effect until mid-2011?
