Just to clarify, I have no doubt the Mondeo (as a model not the specific one dgt linked to as I reckon it's probably in bits) is a better car than an Accent, that's irrefutable I drove a diesel Mondeo for a year and drive an Accent occasionally so am very familiar with both. As a bangernomics proposition the Accents I linked to are better than the Mondeo for so many people, the odd lunatic might find a 2002 Mondeo with €400 of tax advertised for a grand a good idea but I imagine they'd regret it come NCT time if indeed it go that far as is

What I think is silly is making presumptions on how well off people are or otherwise based on the car they drive, plenty do that so you're not alone

Some people think Levins are a wannabe scumbag wagon, stereotypes and narrow minds etc etc

running an Accent costs about as much as a Levin too so you can just about afford to drive by your own logic.

It might be silly but it's still hard not to do.

Well unfortunately a Levin is a more expensive car to drive than an Accent, and you are right I am borderline unable to afford to drive.

And while we are at it lets not beat about the bush, only the scum of the earth drive Levins:pac::pac:

Buy it, drive it and sell it for what you bought it!
Extremely tidy! Cleanest here in a while I'd say.

No NCT but a quick look see would tell alot, pre 93s are a walk in the park to get past an emissions test

Am I having a stupid moment here, or what am I missing?

Has been off the road for 5 years. Passed NCT on May 26th 2011.

I class 2 months nct as no nct

RidleyRider · 25-03-2013 11:15PM

If it was NCT'd in May 2011 though, would it not have any NCT?

For Forks Sake · 25-03-2013 11:23PM

Anyhoo, back to bangers.

1.6l Seat Leon NCT to May 2014, taxed to end of April. Asking €1400. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4720951 .. was bought for €650 or less in the last month or so without test, previous owner never took the ad down : http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4616307

I NCT'd a 12 year old car in May 2011 and the test is still valid until the end of September 2013

NCT and tax for a year and both expiring 02/14, it's a PSV, tax is next to worthless, drive that around as a private car and you could find yourself in the height of sh1t, ignorance is no defence.

You got all that from a picture, Cool

Well are you seriously reckoning someone would see a car with a years test and €600 ish of tax for €900 or whatever the asking price is?

Most yokes (of the 6+ years old variety) with NCT and tax expiring at the same time are PSVs

Common knowledge isn't all that common admittedly.

I got very little from the picture, if that's not a PSV I'd be amazed

Ad the fact that's its an auto 1.8 to the above and it would be a miracle if its not psv'd..

3 months tax off the price would make it better
nice car, dunno how reliable,
did they even come in a 2.0 diesel

26-03-2013 12:33AM

To plate a car it needs to be NCTd as a PSV, it also needs to be taxed as a PSV, these events happen to get the car on the road as a PSV, NCT and tax expiring same time and 99.74% of the time it's a PSV imo if it's an ole yoke :pac:

79.13% of all statistics are made up on the spot

Agreed with the PSV tax though. If that yoke has normal tax, I'll eat my hat

Yeah. Slow, slow, slow. Only 100BHP. I'd avoid tbh, but might be fine for slow folk (90% of drivers

)

She does look clean indeed!

One thing that does worry me is the speedo has been out, note how the brake wear indicator light has been scrubbed out with a marker....
