ROS VRT doesn't have exact make, model and statistical code

One for the VRT officianado's here!

A family member is bringing a car for VRT later this week. The ROS VRT system has the car's make and model, but not the exact version. A higher spec version is listed, not the basic one that's to be VRT'd.

How likely is this to create an issue when the car is brought to be reregistered?

Gets sent to Revenue for a valuation and stat code. Generally takes around 7 to 10 days

Thanks. I'd better give them the bad news so 😁

It will also get valuated by an actual Revenue employee rather than the online calculator so VRT will generally be higher because of this. Unless the OMSP of the other model on the calculator is accurate and representative then it shouldn't be much different

It's a 10 year old Sandero Stepway. The VRT of the higher spec model of same age and mileage is coming in at around €600, so I'd imagine this basic one would be somewhere around the same.
