Drove from Ennis to Cork City,
Its like new inside and out,
an absolute credit to it previous keeper,
What a bargain, I didn't have the heart to haggle!
Great buy, Drove one of these for years. Great car and will get decent MPG outta that 1.8, mine was nearly identical to this. Their a VDI engine (Mitsubishi unit) Keep an eye on the oil every now n then. And the valves in mine choked up periodically which was a common issue, helped a lot to give her a bit of lint up the motorway when you get the chance. (you'll know if it'll do this if the engine ticks when running sounding like tappets, but its no biggie)
Real Comfort Wagon. Well wear
Thanks!
Though this is the Volvo 1783cc unit.
They seem like a reliable enough lump all the same?
And mid 30's mpg I believe ... Which I can live with..0 -

Pug 205 GTI, NCT 8/12 for €1650. Great car and qualifies for classic insurance.

Together with these would be great:
Nice little motor, but do I read between the lines that it currently doesn't actually have an NCT? The owner should become a politician

In July 2010 the car would have got a 2 year NCT.
Not all cars are NCTd when they are due
My own car was NCTd at the end of August but is due again next May...
I'll put it through at the end of this month My ads on adverts.ie

But that is illegal!
I didn't see the comment above, and what I was saying (clumsily) is that the car was due in 2010 as 2010 would be the NCT year back then for 1989 car. If it had been NCTed in 2011, then it would have only got 1 year, and obviously from now on it will need a yearly NCT anyway.
My curiosity with NCT dates is not an idle one, but a "discussion" I am currently having with the dept on whether a car registered in 2002 should get a 1 year or a 2 year NCT, where the NCT due date predates the date of first registration. If I am successful i will get either an additional 2 weeks or 12 months NCT! 0 -

where the NCT due date predates the date of first registration.
How can that happen? Due date should always be on the anniversary of the first registration, no? Or is it a recent import maybe?
If your case is correct, your car is not technically 10 years old (since first registration) so you should get 2 years My ads on adverts.ie

Nope, its not illegal if you sign up for a test and then keep re-scheduling it. That's what I've done. You're paying for the same period either way.0 -

why keep re-scheduling? Fair enough if you have genuine reason for missing a scheduled test, but to keep putting it off, thats the part i don't get.
and this "paying for the same period", why not just get the car through and be done with it?
(apologies for going OT)0 -

Maybe the car won't pass the test and it suits the owner for this time period.
I know two people doing this with cars that aren't worth repairing for the test. Suits them perfectly well.0 -

I,m interested in how you get on with this as I'm in the same position. I'm not making much headway with my query regarding my test date 18/4/2012 and its UK first date of reg 29/09/2002 which puts it clearly 7 months inside the 10 yr. rule.But that is illegal!

All they will say is any 10 year old car tested post 1st June 2011 and tested 2012 irrespective of the month of reg. will only get a one year cert.
Other than discussing it with NCT I don't know if Citizens Advice, the Ombudsman or any other body in authority could play any part in clarifiing the situation.
I know I could go down the solicitor/legal route, but I don't think it's worth my while.0 -
