    Depends on if a VRT refund was done. What year is the car, when was it exported?

    Probably a short term rental car - either for promotional purposes or for one of the rental companies.

    Where a new vehicle is being used for short term hire (hertz, avis etc), the vrt is deferred for 6 months and then paid on the value then.

    Probably this was something like that and when the six months was up, sold to NI.


    You can be fairly certain vrt will be due.

    Very strange for a car like that to be exported. I would count on paying full whack for VRT.

    Not really if the first owner was vw or one of the rental companies.

    Huge number of rental cars come on the market in September due to the six month vrt deferral on rentals.

    To place some of these 100km up the road in NI would be fairly standard.

    It's a while since I dealt with hire cars but I've honestly never heard of that before. Wouldn't the speedo need to be changed to mph?

    The newer VW's have a digital display in the centre of the dash to the left of the speedo that can show in kmh or mph, that might be sufficient for MOT.

    I don't think it is sufficient for registering a car in the uk.

    All been said above - but most likely you'll be paying vrt on it.

    Interesting though if a car was exported without a rebate (unlikely) can it be re-imported without any vrt?

    The analog speedo would have to be in mph too. Not a cheap retro fit on VWs.

    In operation for years - designed to keep costs down and fleet new.

    Hence you have hundreds of "nearly new" cars on sale every September.

    Rules state it must be used for short term rental only (less than 28days per rental)
    Vrt deferral ends on last day of sixth month.

    Changing speedo graphics would not be a major issue.
