jimmy47785 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I have discovered an exquisite E Class saloon; however, it is located in Northern Ireland. The price and specifications are satisfactory, and I am really interested; however, I am unable to see the MOT history on the government website. Is there a method to circumvent this, since I like to verify the vehicle's history before to purchase? If not, I am concerned if this may pose a problem when selling in the future.

CyberNinja Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 A courteous inquiry to the seller, indicating your inability to obtain the NI data in England, may be appropriate. Regardless of the cause, NI MoT records remain inaccessible on the gov.uk website. I assume that pertains to access to the pertinent data of the appropriate NI agency.

Rashman4u Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I understand that some aspects change in Northern Ireland; nonetheless, it fundamentally remains part of the UK, and I am uncertain why a Mercedes-Benz dealership there would have difficulties accessing the MOT history.

CyberNinja Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I cannot confirm, however I would be rather astonished if Northern Ireland people are unable to acquire Northern Ireland MoT data in the same manner as we can for vehicles tested in mainland Britain.

AMG33D Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The first MOT for a Northern Ireland vehicle occurs after 5 years, in contrast to a Great Britain registered vehicle. If it is quite recent, that might elucidate the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
