    I am interested in your appealing theory, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. 99% of posters are not, and would not. :pac:

    So Back to my original question, Are emmissions a basis for appealing the price of the VRT?
    If you could prove that the VRT charged was based on an incorrect CO2 figure then yes. It's not the actual CO2 emmissions of that particular car that count, though, it's the registered figure for that exact model of car.

    Would you have grounds for appeal based on the Level of Emmissions?

    I bought a car recently up the north. I checked the ROS website for the VRT before I bought the car and it stated the VRT at €1,800 with the emmissions at 129g/km(I think). All was fine and Dandy until I went into the Tax office to pay the VRT and yer one said that there was a slight difference in the emmissions on the MOT cert and the VRT enquiry. The MOT cert stated the emmissions as being 168g/km. This put the VRT up to €2,800. After some haggling and changing of details the price came down to €2,500. After this I went back to the Manufacturer of the car to check what their emmissions are and also the manual in the car and they both state that the emmisions to be 129g/km.I was thinking of getting the car checked somewhere for the emmissions to see what they are coming up to be. Since this I have had the car back to the dealer due to a problem with the Exhaust system of the car and I was thinkin this may have lead to an incorrect reading in the MOT.

    The co2 figures are in section 4 of the V5 document. You can also get a COC for the vehicle. You should also take a look at http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/search.asp for co2 figures. The MOT is not the relevant document.

    Just appeal this. Manufacturer figures are the one that should be used to determine VRT.
    Don't let your hardly earned money just going through the window like that.

    Period mate, do it!

    I checked with all Merc Garages here and they could not even give me a 2006 C 200 for that Price.

    Tell this guy to chill out with his prices
    Plenty of 2006 C200 on Carzone for less than 30k, and it is overpriced with the current situation!

    The Car is a mini cooper 1.6. The point was made to yer wan that the emmissions on the VRT website were 129g/km but she said that they had to go by any evidence that was provided to them as the website was just a guide and the MOT test cert had the emmissions at 168g/km. I'm definately going to appeal it but would just like to get some evidence together to back up the claim. The ROS website has a fairly comprehensive FAQ item for this senario however i think the emmissions are really high for this car at 168 if that is what they are.
