Hi, just checked a car on Cartell.ie and this came up:

"The vehicle was not taxed for a period. A gap in taxation of at least 2
months, was found in between 2006-08-31 and 2007-10-31 A gap in
taxation of at least 3 months, was found in between 2010-01-31 and
2011-04-30 Gaps in taxation may indicate the vehicle was off the road
for an extended period. We recommend you clarify the reason with the
vendor"

Overall it's a clean report, nothing else marked in red besides that.

Depends on what the seller has to say about it, but I would have no issue in particular.

Most of the cars I sold and bought looked like that. If it was something on cheap tax, I would ponder it more, if something on EUR1800+ lunacy tax then not so much pondering would be done.

1080. Thing is this tax used to be much smaller back then

My car wasn't taxed for 2 years before I bought it. No issues.

you looking too much into it imo, not everyone pays their tax

Ask the seller and see what they have to say. It's probably just tax dodging but do ask.

I wouldn't bat an eye lid at that, so long as the car is mechanically sound and at a decent price that's all I want.

Same here too.

Mine would probably say something similar. I used to be a hoor for getting the RF100 form stamped by the garda. Can't anymore

I wouldn't worry about it. The last few I bought had the same.

Wouldn't cost me a second thought. That is the very reason they tightened up the tax laws, tax the car for three months, risk 3 months without and then get the form stamped to say it was off the road.

Would you avoid?
