If a car has been off the road, is tax due?
My daughter has a SsangYong Rexton she has not been using, but did not declare it off the road. There is no road tax on it for about two years. She would like to sell the car. Would she be liable for the tax?

Mad to buy a high-mileage Nissan Navara?
Hi there,
I'm hoping to bid at auction on a 2006 Nissan Navara with 300,000km on the clock. I have been to see the car. Starts on the first turn, engine sounds great and everything works as it should as far as I can tell (I'm not a mechanic). No warning lights on start up. I guess I'm asking if I'm mad to buy with such high mileage?
Thanks

I need a new car to accommodate my mum.
Hi,
I'm planning on buying a new car to accommodate my elderly mother. She has arthritis in her knees and has limited mobility in her lower limbs. She's 5'5" and uses two sticks, but I also need room for a wheelchair. I originally thought a higher car, e.g. an SUV, but they are too high for her. I'd appreciate any advice or car recommendations.
Regards
Orla Curran

Santa Fe or Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Hi,
I need a commercial 4x4 for towing and general business use. I've narrowed it down to the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Which is the better 4x4 in terms of economics, comfort and resale value
