Can I drive my Volvo without tax and NCT?
I have a 1992 Volvo that I bought new; it has been in the garage for the last 10 years and I would like to put it back on the road. I had the local mechanic look at it and he said that if he drove it 30 miles down the road to take the surface rust off the discs it would probably pass an NCT. However, I would like to take it to the garage and have the discs and pads changed along with the brake hoses. The question is, can I drive it to the garage without tax and NCT?
Best wishes, Chris Keohane

Difference between motor tax and VRT?
Hi,
Could you please help me understand the distinction between VRT and the annual 'motor tax' in the Republic of Ireland? I'm asking from the UK and I'm trying to understand the system.
Thanks

NOx value for a 2016 Fiat Panda diesel?
Hi,
I'm having difficulty with the ROS VRT calculator on this car: 2016 Fiat Panda 1.3 MultiJet Diesel, with 60,000 miles on the clock. I haven't got any official figure for the NOx value and wondered if you could help with an indication of how much the cost would be?
Kind Regards

Looking for a small SUV for my business...
Hi there,
I was thinking of buying a commercial vehicle for work. I am a physiotherapist and do a lot of work outside my clinic premises (football games, home visits, nursing home etc). Are there any commercial vehicles that I could consider? I am not sure I want a pickup, but more a commercial SUV type.
Thanks in advance
