VRT calculator doesn't list all versions of Honda Accord DTEC

lukester

I know there are a fair few posts on this, but I still haven't figured out how the VRT calculator picks which models to list. I'm looking at buying an 09 2.2 DTEC Accord Tourer, but when I enter the details, it only lists the higher spec EX GT model, plus 3 listings for the older CDTI.

I'd probably be looking at the entry spec ES model.

Any idea how I can ascertain the exact VRT for the model I want?

Details:
2009
Estate
5 door
Diesel
15000 miles
Manual

Many thanks

edit: I just checked for a Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.2, and the only option it lists is the very highest spec, highest power T spirit model-

MAKE: TOYOTA
MODEL: AVENSIS 2.2 D (From Jan. 2009)
VERSION: 2.2 D4D TSPIRIT 180BHP / ESTATE / MANUAL / DIESEL /
CO2 EMISSIONS: 163
MILEAGE: 15000 MILES
DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION: JANUARY 2009

There are several other lesser variants of this car that it's not listing. What gives?

Sorry, I should have spotted that thread- thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

And f*ck, can't believe how they've cocked up the VRT system. Time to start writing to local TDs.

Not always true. I paid the exact amount quoted on 16 Sep for my Honda Accord 2006.

Quite apart from the NCT issue, the VRT calculator does not list every version of every car. It only lists cars for which is already on their system and has a statistical code. If you car is one they haven't encountered before they will have to generate a new statistical code and it will have to go through a VRT evalution seperate to the usual NCT based assessment.
