    How come same model of 08 titanium x mondeo 2.0 diesel has 156kgm and later model of same has 154 and even 149 for 2010? Problem is a) tax is €145 more expensive but b)biggest concern is VRT on an import is €1200 plus more expensive? Thank you

    Ford made modifications to the 2.0 TDCi engine to get it into a lower tax band.

    The emmissions figure on the V5 is what will be used to determine which VRT and tax band it falls under.

    That's the VRT calculator at work correct ? Not always accurate...although worryingly seems to generally be an under estimate. No doubt the lower tax band car is going to be more valuable on the market and will have higher OMSP than the higher but the lower emission car gets VRT'd on a lower percentage of OMSP than the higher emission car as well - which in this case gives less VRT overall to pay it would seem.

    Revenue set prices based on what they perceive the open market selling price to be for a given car & spec.

    If you are convinced you've been assessed at too high a value, you can stick in an appeal after you've paid the VRT assessed and submit proof of what the 'real' OMSP is by reference to what cars are priced at on the market. Better would be to get a report from a vehicle assessor type as the 'on price' does not reflect what they're actually selling at.

    Quite a lot of people are successful on appeal and get a few quid off. Generally with the less common stuff where Revenue don't see too many of them and may not have updated OMSP/ever had a realistic OMSP in the first place.
