Hello..I’m from Dublin and live in Dublin..I am looking at buying a Car in Belfast..If I register the car at a friends address in Belfast and use his address for my insurance..also I have a UK driving license from a few years ago..WOULD I GET AWAY WITH DRIVING IT DOWN HERE ON N.I. REGISTRATION AND NOT PAYING VRT?? If customs stop me and I produce a UK license, would that satisfy them?? Would they check on me through my PPS NUMBER and see that I really live in Dublin?? Thanks in advance..I’m new to this.

I think you might run into issues with insurance - you'll be asked to declare where the car is parked overnight.

With the UK licence you’ll have no bother so long as nothing happens the car at your house.
