    This has been the case for a while now.

    Bearing in mind the glaring discrepancy between the Revenue On-Line VRT calculator and the actual figure subsequently demanded by the NCT franchisee,are there grounds for a legal challenge here ?

    Surely if a citizen follows the laid down procedures and uses the Officially maintaned and supposedly accurate database he/she should have a reasonable expectation of being fully legal and corect ?

    This sounds to me as if the NCT acting on behalf of the State are imposing a form of double jepoardy on the Citizen,whereby a person meeting the requirements of one State Body,then at the last moment is placed in a position of non-conformity...That just sounds dubious....but it also sounds remarkably IRISH. :mad:


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    No, because the ROS VRT calculator only gives you an 'estimate'. They've got it covered.

    Been through the process today.

    Car is an '83 Golf GTI.

    The online VRT calculator gave me an estimate of €1079. Having read this thread I didn't know what to expect when I went to VRT it today.

    To my surprise, it was €640.

    I know, I know, this is an old thread etc

    But was looking at other threads to find an answer and couldn't.

    Anyways, can anyone tell me if this shameful mess has been sorted out ?

    Or is there still a massive difference between the ROS online quote and the price one has to pay at the NCT centre ??

    ROS is the only system used in the NCT centre. So as long as you choose the correct make & model and correct co2 on the vrt calculator the fee should be the same.

    90% of the people who come into me get the same fee online.

    The other 10% are people who just haven't done it right, some just buy the car and don't even look at the website for a quote. Some just go onto the calculator and pick the closest car that sounds like their one (most people bring in print offs of it) with a totally wrong model and co2 that will obviously be a different price. And then you have people who don't pay within the 30 days and the penalty is included in the price.

    So just do your homework. And for god sake bring the correct paperwork.

    I imported a car on 4th April and booked the VRT appointment the next day for the 17th, thinking that everything would be OK. However, it turned out that I had bought a pup and major engine surgery was needed. It went in to the garage on the 12th and there it sits with its innards out on a bench awaiting new parts, which have now been ordered. I rang to cancel the appointment when it became apparent that it wasn't going to be ready in time. I'm hoping to have it back early next week but can't make another appointment until I have it back.

    The original booking ID number is still being referred to when I go in to have a look at the website, so hopefully the fact that I originally booked it within the 7 days will be OK.

    Fingers crossed...

    You have to book it within 7 days, it has to be paid within 30 days regardless of when you booked it, If it goes over the 30 days you pay a penalty. The Id number doesn't really mean anything.
