Clearing the tax arrears?

How does that work because the insurance companies always ask if you are the registered owner when insuring the car?

Just sell the car to your partner, arrears gets cleared and that's it.

Didnt realise motortax.ie gave the last change of details on the site, shame they didnt give the last few years.
Looked at a car on motorcheck recently and there were numerous changes of ownership, which gave me cause for concern, either the owner was skipping the due tax (not my problem about the taxing, but if they are similarly not putting a basic amount of money into a car for servicing), OR the car had change ownership a good few times which would be cause for concern.
If someone owns a halfway decent car it looks better when selling if they have paid the tax and not swapped ownership too many times, unless they got caught out once, or it raises questions, think if owning a less desirable or older car, then its better to not change for same reason at it just makes it even less likely to be bought too.

But does that not pose a problem with the insurance companies because you are not the registered owner?

No because you buy it back.

Ah I see... So it will add two owners every time

Or if you’re John Smith, sell it to J. Smith, J. D. Smith etc

It doesn’t

Google 'Insurable Interest'.

How about googling 'searching with understanding'?

The policy that is required by law is TPL policy. The requirement to be owner of the vehicle you want to be insured to drive has nothing with the insurable interest of lack of it. Everybody has insureable interest to have a car, regardless of the ownership of said vehicle.

Seems decent and with good bit of nct on it

Ownership changed at the beginning of February. It does make you wonder too how it can still be flipped for a profit by asking €400 with all that claimed work done to it. It's also very hard to believe that a diesel Octavia has only covered 128k miles in 17 years.

its 400 beans.. id say something if it was 4000, but its 400, with a years test.

I think that was up recently, whats the 2.4 diesel like
140k or so miles

I probably wasnt going to go for that one specifically, but thats some investigative work done, I liked the look of the leather, wondered about the timing belt tacked onto the service record as it is, I guess there is always a possibility the car actually isnt a pile of $hite (it actually is presented as quite clean looking) but with that record, why risk it.
