Help please with Irish registered car.

Recommended Posts

Looking for advice as I’ve never come across this before. My friend wants me to look at a  Irish plated car . NI plate. I don’t often get involved sellling to friends and family but happy to go looking with them at the block. My mate has found this Qashqui diesel with NI plate, 1 owner from new registered in this country up the North. The Mot history states first registered December 2011, but dvla, hpi and other sites say February 2011. Therefore making it a 60 plate instead of a 61. 
 

The vendor has no history and my mate tells me the car is immaculate with great spec and drives fantastic. I wouldn’t touch it not knowing if it ever had a service but I feel he thinks I’m just trying to get out of going with him to view. Your thoughts please.

I believe any UK or NI car will keep its original DOR.  More likely an import from the South or Isle of Man.

NI cars also don’t need an MOT until 4 years old so don’t be surprised if it looks like it was done late.
