Vrt help question

faddys123

Hi all

I have bought a 2019 car from NI on the weekend. It is a NI reg car with first registration in Northern Ireland. However, the owner that I bought it from bought it in 2022 and therefore the v5 date is 2022.

Am i exempt from vat and customs and just pay vrt & nox? Or do I need proof it was in NI prior to brexit. I spoke to the main dealer who sold the car in 2019 said he couldn't give me anything due to gdpr of the buyer. He said since its a NI reg it must have been registered in Northern Ireland and not England.

I have the v5 ,sales invoice, recent mot, service book (only one service in Belfast 2022 and one mot 2023.

What else do I need ?

I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction as the car has only stayed within NI since it's registration.

Bring it to the VRT appointment as normal and they will tell you

If I do that then I have to rebook for another vrt appointment if I don't have the right things.

Was wondering if anyone had a similar situation and what they needed to present?

No you don’t, you just go back with the required documents.

I would try help but that question comes up a lot and its a bit of a sticky one

anyone else have any further input?

Usually, I follow the FAQ on the vrt/nct website and bring what they ask when you get your appointment.

I am nearly always more worried about payment, if they ask for too much, I know I can appeal, but it's paying them first.

I did this last year and they were very very sticky about it. The car I bought was a 16 that had been in NI since about 18. Even though it had been owned by the same owner in NI since before Brexit and the V5 clearly showed that, the issue date of V5 was recent because the owner had transferred a private plate. So the guy in the VRT office said I had to get further proof that it was in NI pre Brexit. He told me they would accept old MOTs old tax discs, old receipts from main dealers (in NI). I actually got onto the DVLA in NI and they gave me a print out of the cars MOT history in NI which worked for me. Your car is too new to have old MOTs so it might be worth asking the DVLA if they can give you anything else like something to show that it was first registered in NI or something like that.

BnB can you remember what department you contacted looking for the exact same thing you got. Was it the DVA you contacted and just asked for a print out of the MOT history in NI.

I sent an email to this address giving the Reg and Vin of the jeep. Maybe I just got very lucky on the day but they actually replied within 5 minutes with exactly what I needed attached
