tractor dealer issue with import

kerb

Hi all i bought a 2006 tractor of a local dealer, it is on uk plates he bought it at auction and imported it i bbought it a few days later and took it home, he was to get it cleared, i have it now about 10 weeks, but its still not cleared i have rang him loads of times and he said he is waiting on paper work from Swansea to get it cleared, to me this seams to be taking a long time has anyone experience of this or any advise, thanks

Have you paid him In full ?

call into your local VRT office,your NCT centre usually, explain the situation, the tractor needs a VRT inspection before they issue with a tax book/irish numberplate.
we had the same craic this last year getting registered tractor, UK tractors need i think it was a certificate of permanent export,
Anyway brought the tractor to NCT centre on way home, he checked serial numbers, make model etc etc
It was a good few weeks of back and forth before it got sorted!!!!

good luck with your new machine!

To be fair sometimes it does take a long time to get log books fgrom VOSA if there is any small issue but ring them direct to see if there has been any movement or if he has done anything with it.
10 weeks seems a long time though

We had a tractor 9 years before we VRT'd it. The auld fella kept chasing the dealer but no joy. Eventually he had to drive the tractor 40 miles to the most local VRT office to get it 'inspected'. He said a woman came out and she was heavily pregnant. She hopped up in the tractor and had a look around. Not sure what for. She told him he'd have to back tax it. Was coming to mad money. Near a grand I think. Probably right in hindsight. Typical of my auld fella and how stubborn he is he got off and just paid that year. Dealer's can be slow! Hopefully yours won't be that slow!!

Too late now but maybe a lesson for other people to hold back some of the money until paper work completed ?

I had same issue with northern dealer. He bought tractor is Wales. I bought it off him from lisnaskea. I was 14 months waiting for the log book. Cancelled 2 appointments with NCT to reg it.
Must register it soon now that I think of it

Ah he said he was waiting for me to call to look for it. When I did call he had it posted out to me within 3 days
