    Would you still be liable for VAT on a 2016 bike with less then the 6000km cut off point?

    Indeed but it stops demo and old stock vehicles being sold without VAT being collected. Revenue never miss a trick :rolleyes:

    It is what it is.

    Just ride the required number of miles (6000km = c.3750 miles before entering the state.)

    What bike is it ? Maybe a replacement clock from a breaker ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,520 ✭✭✭emo72


    Had the same scenario with a 2010 bike. Only 2500 miles on it. Swapped clocks was only option.

    Black & Decker drills will last well over 4,712.52 kms ;)

    The mileage limit only applies on the day of your appointment so if you bring it in under the limit you still have a good while to clock up the miles

    Are the NCT centres busy now with covid?

    I would try and book an appointment as far away as possible to give yourself time to drive up the mileage
