ALL-NEW NISSAN QASHQAI – READY FOR THE FUTURE –

issan has reinvented the family crossover/SUV segment that it created in 2007 with the launch of the all-new Qashqai, which has been electrified to help families make the switch to hybrid and electric driving. The new 12V hybrid system on the new Qashqai is a more affordable technology, providing torque assist, extended idle stop, quick restart and coasting stop, storing energy to power the vehicle’s electrical equipment and to lower fuel consumption.

Although unmistakably Qashqai in its styling, the third generation is more muscular, sharp and modern. The new Qashqai looks more solid and substantial too, despite growing by only 35mm in length and 32mm in width. It continues to give drivers a commanding sense

of their environment with improved visibility, while a longer wheelbase has created more room for occupants. Additionally, luggage capacity has increased to 504-litres, representing a 74-litre increase over the previous generation. A clever boot floor arrangement

By DECLAN GLYNN www.motoringmatters.ie means plenty of storage and load height options to boost flexibility, too. MILD HYBRID TECH Nissan has dropped diesel engines from the line-up, so the bulk of the range is filled by an evolution of the previous generation Qashqai’s 1.3-litre DIG-T turbo petrol unit with mild hybrid technology. This 12V system adds 22kg in weight, but cuts Co2 output by up to 4g/km. The new Qashqai’s petrol engine is available with two

outputs – 138bhp and 156bhp – when fitted with a six-speed manual or Xtronic (automatic) transmission respectively. The manual gearbox offers a quicker, more direct and sportier shift feeling than ever, while the newgeneration Xtronic transmission offers better fuel economy and acceleration. Coming our way in 2022 will be a 187bhp electric hybrid model too, providing families with even greater choice. This model uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine and includes a proper 145kW electric

motor, but the engine doesn’t even drive the wheels in this car – it just charges the battery to keep the electric motor going. FOUR GRADES The new Qashqai is available in a choice of four grades, and many of its innovative safety and infotainment features are standard across the range. The entry grade XE model is available from €30,500. The SV grade is priced from €33,200, the SV Premium Grade from €37,395 and the top of the range SVE Xtronic grade from €44,600. The front of the new Qashqai gets an updated interpretation of Nissan’s V-Motion grille, flanked by slim LED headlights which cut a C-shaped slash into the bumper, while a new rear design features distinctive light clusters, a stylish tailgate, and a redesigned bumper for added visual drama. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 20 inches – the latter of which is one inch larger than what was offered on the second-generation Qashqai. IInside, a new horizontal layout sees the infotainment screen positioned on top of the dash, with the vents and physical air-conditioning controls moved below. The infotainment system now uses a nine-inch touchscreen with a much sharper resolution than before, with online services including Google Street View and fuel price information available. Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay are offered too. While the previous Qashqai’s traditional analogue dials and lowresolution, slow infotainment Continued on page 2

ALL-NEW NISSAN QASHQAI contd from page 1 system meant it lagged behind the best in class for technology, the new model is brought right up-to-date thanks to a new digital instrument cluster. The customisable 12.3inch screen lets the driver prioritise driving data, satnav, entertainment or vehicle information, all of which can be selected via controls on the steering wheel. New connectivity features on offer include the NissanConnect smartphone

app which allows owners to remotely control the car’s locks, lights and horn, plus send destinations to the navigation system. Refinement to the ergonomic design of the doorways means that it is also easier to step in and out of the car, particularly in restricted areas such as multi-storey car parks. Where space allows, parents will appreciate that the rear doors now open to 85 degrees, allowing easier access to babies and

toddlers in child-seats. IMPRESSIVE SPECIFICATION Full LED headlights, and Auto headlights with high beam assist are standard across the range. Standard safety features also include rear parking sensors, blind spot intervention, traffic sign recognition, Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, and Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking (Pedestrian & Cyclist Recognition, Junction Assist) and Rear Automatic Cross Traffic Alert and Braking. Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto come as standard from the SV grade upwards, while a Wireless Phone Charger is introduced at the SV Premium grade. The 8” Infotainment display in the SV grade increases to 9” in the SV Premium and SVE Xtronic grades, including higher

resolution and Nissan Connected Services. The top of the range SVE Xtronic includes 19” alloy wheels, Nappa Quilted Leather seats, a handsfree powered tailgate, heated front seats with massage function, ProPilot with Navi Link, a Heads Up Display (HUD), Automatic Tilt Reversing Mirrors and a Bose sound system with 10 speakers.

CAR ON REVIEW My review car was a Qashqai SV Premium CVT (automatic) 1.3-litre mild hybrid, which looked particularly striking in its Fuji Sunset Red metallic paintwork. The automatic gearbox in the Qashqai is a CVT, which stands for Continuously Variable Transmission. It drives just like a normal auto, but as this type of gearbox doesn’t have actual gears it’s

impressively smooth when you’re just driving about. The Qashqai’s steering is light and accurate, which makes manoeuvring the car in and out of tight parking spaces a simple exercise, while refinement, comfort and ease of drivability are also positive attributes of Nissan’s new family SUV. Producing 156bhp and 270Nm of torque, my review car can sprint from 0100km/h in just 9.5-seconds,

while returning fuel consumption of up to 44.1mpg (6.4l/100km) on a combined WLTP driving cycle. The all-new Nissan Qashqai mild hybrid is one the most competitively priced crossovers on the market, and is ready for the changing world we live in. Nissan’s comprehensive 3-Year/100,000km warranty comes as standard.

New Mercedes-Benz GLA Plug-in Hybrid

By BREDA CORRIGAN www.motoringmatters.ie

he new Mercedes-Benz GLA premium compact SUV is now available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) for the very first time. Badged ‘GLA 250 e’, the plug-in hybrid joins the petrol and diesel engine variants, with an automatic transmission coming as standard. The original Mercedes-Benz GLA arrived on Irish shores back in 2014 and it quickly became a popular choice amongst premium compact SUV buyers. Based on the A-Class of the time, Mercedes-Benz gave its smallest model some SUV flavour with clever body cladding and a raised ride height. MORE SUV-LIKE THAN EVER Launched in 2020, the second-generation GLA also shares its DNA with the latest A-Class, but it gained a more traditional SUV shape. Standing 10cm taller than its predecessor, the new GLA’s wheel arches are more squared-off in shape and are clad in protective black plastic. Its wheelbase has also been increased to create more passenger space, while the wheels are pushed out to each corner, resulting in much shorter front and rear overhangs. Pitched directly against rivals like the BMW X1 and Volvo XC40 hybrids, the new GLA 250 e uses the same powertrain as the plug-in A-Class (A250 e) – a 1.33-litre

petrol engine and 101bhp electric motor, drawing power from a 10.6kWh battery. The fuel tank in the GLA 250 e is located ahead of the car’s front axle, which leaves space under the boot to fit the hybrid battery. Importantly, this means that the GLA avoids the awkward box-shaped intrusion into the boot area seen in some plug-in hybrid cars.

camera, LED high performance headlamps, Light and Sight package, hard-disc navigation, MBUX multimedia system, digital radio, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Seat Comfort package with heated front seats, automatic climate control, roof liner in black

fabric, Mercedes-Benz emergency call system, galvanised steering-wheel gearshift paddles, EASYPACK tailgate, DYNAMIC SELECT, acoustic ambient protection, Active Lane Keep Assist, and Speed Limit Assist, along with many more comfort, convenience and security features. Additional AMG Line specification includes lowered comfort suspension, AMG body styling, carbon-structure trim, 19” AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, ARTICO leather/DINAMICA microfibre black upholstery, and AMG

SPECIFICATION DETAILS The new Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 e is available in a choice of two generouslyequipped specification levels – Progressive and AMG Line – both of which come with standard features such as stylish 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, parking sensors with reversing

floor mats. TEST CAR My GLA 250 e ‘Progressive’ test car was finished in Night Black paint (a no-cost option) with contrasting Macchiato Beige/Black ARTICO leather upholstery (a €170 cost option) for maximum impact. With a 100% battery charge, my test car estimated its own electric range to be 59km’s. The car defaults to Hybrid mode when started up, so you proceed in zero-emission fashion at speeds of up to 130km/h, as long as the battery has charge and you accelerate gently. When the petrol engine cuts in performance is strong, as it and the electric motor combine their power in a smooth and orderly fashion. With a combined power output of 218bhp and a mighty 450Nm of torque, the GLA 250 e can sprint from 0-100km/h in as little as 7.1 seconds, and can achieve a top speed of 220km/h (where permitted).

The petrol engine only really makes its presence known when you ask for more performance, while neat handling and sufficient grip from the driven front wheels provides great confidence on the road. The car’s steering is light but direct, and the ride is more than comfortable enough to deal with rutted road surfaces and speed ramps with ease. Cabin space is impressive, with excellent head, leg and elbow room available for all occupants, while a 445-litre boot capacity will be more than adequate for most families. However, the GLA’s standard split-folding rear seat backs allow for the transportation of larger items when called upon, with up to 1,430-litres of space on offer in this mode. The cabin of the new GLA certainly feels vastly improved over the original GLA in every respect. This has been made possible by the latest Mercedes-Benz MBUX interior layout, with crisp digital displays replacing the analogue

instrument dials and flowing across onto the dashboard. Buttons have been largely replaced by a controller ahead of the gearlever and voice control, which uses artificial intelligence similar to that found in home smart devices to recognise more natural speech and commands. The turbine air vents from the original GLA have been retained, but the dashboard has been slimmed-down for a more spacious feel. VERDICT & PRICING Overall, the new Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 e is a competent all-rounder that offers a decent electric range, low emissions, predictable handling and a luxurious, technology-filled cabin – encased in a stylish and practical premium compact SUV body. Pricing for the Progressive specification starts at €46,550 (excluding delivery-related charges), with the AMG Line specification attracting a premium of €2,626.

New CUPRA Formentor to the Fore

aving been used as a sign of SEAT's performance focused cars in the past, CUPRA is now a new brand with its own distinct identity. The new CUPRA Formentor is the Spanish brand’s first bespoke model, with CUPRA’s highperformance values at the very core. The Formentor’s design inside and out is something quite different to what we have seen before, and brings with it a new dimension in style and sophistication. Being part of the Volkswagen Group means that CUPRA has access to cuttingedge mechanicals and technology, and this has enabled the new Formentor compact SUV to hit the ground running, so to speak. There is a lot of money and confidence behind the CUPRA brand, and that is evident in the bold product plan promised by the company.

By BREDA CORRIGAN www.motoringmatters.ie

ENGINE & TRIM OPTIONS The Formentor sits on the familiar MQB set of chassis components that also underpins other crossovers such as the SEAT Ateca and VW Tiguan. Petrol engine options in the Formentor consist of a 1.5-litre TSI with 150bhp and a 2.0-litre TSI unit with a choice of 190, 245 or 310bhp. The 1.5 TSI engine is available as a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG (automatic), while the 2.0 TSI comes with a DSG transmission as standard, with CUPRA’s 4DRIVE (allwheel-drive) system standard in 310bhp guise. A 2.0 TDI (Turbo Diesel) EVO engine is available with 150bhp and can be mated to a 6-speed manual or 7speed DSG transmission, with the latter coming with 4DRIVE as standard. Additionally, a 1.4-litre

e-HYBRID powertrain is available with a choice of 204bhp or 245bhp, both of which are mated to a 6speed DSG transmission with promised fuel consumption as low as 1.2l/100km on a combined WLTP driving cycle. There is a choice of two trim levels in CUPRA’s new compact SUV – Formentor and Formentor VZ – with the latter being the CUPRA Formentor’s most powerful trim, named in reference to the Spanish word ‘Veloz’, meaning ‘fast’. The Formentor VZ trim offers high-performance powertrain options. Coming with 19” alloy wheels, a 12” Navigation system, autonomous assistance technology and performance bucket seats as standard.

TEST CAR My test car was a CUPRA Formentor 1.5 TSi (150bhp) DSG (7-speed automatic) which was finished in stylish Graphene Grey Premium metallic paint with optional 19” Exclusive Aero Black & Copper alloy wheels for an added dose of visual drama. Producing 150bhp and 250Nm of torque, the 1,498cc engine propels the Formentor from a standing start to 100km/h in just 8.9seconds, on its way to a top speed of 203km/h (204km/h in 6-speed manual guise). Key standard features include Full LED headlamps and Daytime Running Lights, rear ‘coast to coast’ light with welcome ceremony, front fog lamps with cornering function, heat-insulated and tinted rear windows, leatherwrapped multi-function

heated sports steering wheel, dark aluminium glossy interior package, textile sport seats, keyless unlocking and ignition system, 10.25” Digital Cockpit, 10” Media System with DAB radio, CONNECT Online infotainment (included for 1 year), rain and light sensor, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, park assist, rear view camera, Drive Profile Selection, and auto highbeam assist, along with a suite of advanced safety systems. Optional extras fitted to my test car included premium metallic paint, black leather bucket seats, 19” alloy wheels, hands-free electric tailgate, Dynamic Chassis Control, and Safe & Drive “L” (Side Assist, Exit Assist & Exit Warning). The sweet-revving petrol engine in my test car produces 150bhp and 250Nm of torque, enabling the car to sprint from 0100km/h in 8.9-seconds, with claimed fuel consumption as low as 6.7l/100km (42.2 mpg). As in

Test Drive The

CUPRA FORMENTOR at Spirit Cupra, Maple Avenue, Sandyford, Co. Dublin. Phone: 01 2163690 • www.spiritcupra.ie 6 MotorMarket

other VW Group models, the 1.5-litre engine is commendably quick to drop onto two cylinders to save fuel when cruising, and the process of cutting out and back in again is hard to detect. Composed and predictable handling is admirable, as is the Formentor’s ability to soak up road imperfections with ease. IMPRESSIVE SPORTY INTERIOR Take a seat behind the wheel of the CUPRA Formentor and you could be forgiven for thinking that you are in a hatchback rather than a compact SUV. The seating position is low, as is the base of the windscreen, so you feel like you sit much closer to the road – as you would in a performance-focused car. Selectable driving modes in the Formentor consist of Comfort, Sport, CUPRA and Individual, with each mode bringing a greater degree of aggression and engine noise that gets pumped through the cars speakers.

Cabin space in the Formentor is excellent, with adults over six foot tall still able to sit comfortably in the rear seats. You could even sit three abreast thanks to the shallow transmission tunnel. The use of quality materials, with a grainy metal finish in the middle of the fascia, makes the cabin of the Formentor a pleasant and comfortable place to be, while bronze CUPRA highlights on the air vents add a sense of occasion to every journey. The boot capacity of 450-litres in the Formentor 1.5 TSI can be expanded by dropping the rear seatbacks, allowing for even greater practicality when called upon.

The Formentor scored a full five star rating in its Euro NCAP crash test, thanks in part to standard safety systems such as lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, predictive cruise control and driver alert warning. PRICING Pricing for the new CUPRA Formentor starts at €37,135, with my test car specification priced from €40,885 (or €47,472 with the optional extras fitted). The new CUPRA Formentor offers a more exclusive, contemporary vision of sportiness, which is instilled into an exquisitely sleek and bold design.

s a tribute to the Ford GT supercar, the prototype vehicle that gave life to the program more than a half-century ago, Ford is introducing the 2022 Ford GT ’64 Prototype Heritage Edition. The limited-edition vehicle is inspired by the 1964 Ford GT prototype that debuted at the New York International Auto Show on April 3, 1964 and went on to become America’s only Le Manswinning supercar.

LIMITED-EDITION RUN The Ford GT ’64 Prototype Heritage Edition supercar wears Wimbledon White paint with Antimatter Blue graphics, including an over-the-roof triple racing stripe. Exposed carbon fibre components are prominent, including 20-inch Antimatter Bluepainted carbon fibre wheels, a touch unique to Ford GT, as well as an exposed carbon fibre front splitter, side sills, mirror stalks, engine louvers and rear diffuser finished in gloss. Brembo brake calipers lacquered in silver with black graphics, plus black lug nuts further modernize the aesthetic. Carbon fibre carries into the cabin as well, with carbon fibre door sills, lower A-pillars and console, along with matte carbon fibre registers. Lightspeed Blue Alcantara®-wrapped carbon fibre seats feature silver stitching, while seating surfaces and head restraints are embossed with the GT logo. The instrument panel is wrapped in Ebony leather and Lightspeed Blue Alcantara, while pillars and headliner are wrapped in Ebony Alcantara. Antimatter Blue appliqués on the instrument panel, door register bezels and seat X-brace are coordinated with the unique wheels.

The steering wheel is finished in Ebony Alcantara with black stitching, while dual-clutch paddle shifters are clear and polished. ORIGINAL FORD GT PROTOTYPES UNDERSCORE INGENUITY AND SPEED With the objective of beating Ferrari and winning Le Mans, Ford began development of its own race car in 1963, and less than a year later, the Ford GT prototype (chassis GT/101) was revealed at the 1964 New York International Auto Show. Five GT prototypes were built – the first Ford models to use deep aerodynamic analysis to optimise high-speed performance. These are some of the most significant cars produced by Ford, marking the foundation for the GT program that culminated in the company’s 1-2-3 sweep at Le Mans in 1966. The cars symbolise the groundbreaking engineering that continues at Ford with the 2022 Ford GT Heritage Edition. Of the five Ford GT prototypes built, chassis GT/105 is the only one to survive and wear the period-correct livery. Chassis GT/101 and GT/102 were scrapped after Le Mans and Monza crash testing, but that testing was critical in making significant improvements to GT/103, GT/104 and GT/105. Marking the first GT victory, GT/103 won at Daytona in 1965 with Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby behind the wheel, while GT/104 placed third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther. Both GT/103 and GT/104 have been repainted and are exclusive displays at the Shelby Museum in Boulder, Colorado.

NEW TOYOTA

HILUX

The Invincible Choice

he Toyota Hilux pick-up started production in March 1968 in shortwheelbase form with a 1.5-litre 76bhp engine, which was upgraded to a 1.6-litre unit 3 years later. Times, trends and tastes have changed dramatically since the late 1960’s, and the Hilux has been through many incarnations over the intervening decades. More than 18 million examples By DECLAN GLYNN • www.motoringmatters.ie of the Toyota Hilux have been produced since 1968, but the latest version Control, Pre-Collision Key standard features in 26-degree departure angle comes with an 8” is more appealing than ever. System with Pedestrian and multimedia display, the Invincible model include and 700mm wading depth,

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION OPTIONS The current Toyota Hilux is in its eight generation, and a recent refresh brings with it a new exterior design, along with a new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel (D4D) engine with an increase of 54bhp and 100Nm of torque over the 3.0-litre engine it replaces. However, Toyota’s 2.4-litre D4D engine is also available. The new Toyota Hilux is available in a choice of three trim levels – DLX (2.4-litre D4D, single or double cab), SR5 (2.4 or 2.8-litre D4D, double cab only) and

Invincible (2.8-litre D4D, double cab only). While the DLX model is only available with a sixspeed manual transmission, an upgrade to the SR5 model gives the option of manual or automatic, with the Invincible model coming with a 6-speed Super Intelligent ECT automatic transmission as standard. Dynamic improvements in the new Hilux provide enhanced driving performance on and offroad. Suspension enhancements result in onroad ride comfort improvement and even

better off-road capability, while variable flow control provides improvement in steering function. Auto Limited Slip Differential delivers improved acceleration on low-grip surfaces in 2WD mode, while Off-Road Assistance provides useful features to help tackle the most challenging terrain (both systems are standard from SR5 grade).

18” alloy wheels, front & rear parking sensors, LED headlights, LED front fog lights, side steps, heated leather seats, wiper de-icer, Stop/Start technology, automatic air-conditioning and an 8” display audio with satellite navigation. Producing 204bhp and a mighty 500Nm of torque, the new Hilux Invincible can sprint from 0-100km/h in an impressive 10.0-seconds, and has the capability to carry a 1-tonne payload in its load bed, while a 3,500kg towing capacity with a braked trailer ensures that the Hilux has the necessary ingredients to succeed in the competitive pick-up market in Ireland. The go-anywhere ability of the new Hilux is made possible by way of its 29degree approach angel, 310mm ground clearance,

and these impressive figures provide the new Hilux driver with the confidence to go far off the beaten track with ease. In spite of pandering to the luxury end of the pick-up truck market, the Toyota Hilux has certainly not forgotten its roots. While it is better looking, better to drive and better equipped than ever before, it is still as tough as old boots, and has a wider load bay and bigger capacity than any of its predecessors, while it still rides on a heavy-duty leafsprung live rear axle. Additionally, Toyota has tuned the suspension to deliver a smoother ride when unladen, and this has certainly been a very worthwhile revision. The new Hilux also excels in terms of safety too, with Intelligent Adaptive Cruise

Cyclist Detection, and Road Sign Assist all standard across the entire model range. DURABLE CAR-LIKE CABIN The cabin of the new Hilux has been made more attractive too, with a design that looks like it came from Toyota’s passenger cars, rather than a commercial vehicle. There is good space for five adults, with plenty of head, leg and elbow room on offer for all occupants. Large glass areas around the cabin result in terrific visibility, but also makes the cabin light and airy, while the leather upholstery in my test vehicle provided support and comfort in equal measure, and looked very durable too. In terms of infotainment, from SR5 grade, the Hilux

Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. VERDICT AND PRICING The new Toyota Hilux is priced from just €29,950, with my test vehicle priced from €51,810. I love everything about the new Toyota Hilux Invincible – from the way it looks, to its amazing off-road ability and refined on-road manners, to its car-like driving experience. Toyota’s famous reputation for reliability and durability has been well proven over the decades, and will be the real icing on the cake for many new Hilux buyers. The Toyota Hilux has been on sale for over 50 years now, and it’s incredible sales success is sure to continue for the next 50 years!!

HILUX ON REVIEW The Hilux I reviewed was the range-topping ‘Invincible’ model in standard double cab guise.

Ford takes Parking to the Next Level T

he search for a parking space can be a daunting endeavour, and when a space is found, it might be a tight squeeze to get the vehicle in. The solution? Leave that work to the vehicle. As part of a German Association of the Automobile Industry collaboration, Ford has partnered with infrastructure providers and technology companies, including Bosch, to demonstrate the potential for a connected vehicle to communicate with the car park infrastructure to not only find a space but to park itself too. Automated Valet Parking enables drivers to use an app to send the vehicle into an automated parking manoeuvre – all from outside the vehicle. The technology, currently in the research and demonstration phase, takes the stress out of parking and could be extended to enable drivers to send the vehicle to a car wash or charging station; or even have parcels delivered to the vehicle in the car park. In Europe, a standard parking space is 2.44 metres by 4.88 metres. But while vehicles have become increasingly larger over the years, many

parking spaces have stayed the same size. Automated Valet Parking could enable up to 20 per cent more vehicles to be parked in a car park – without the potential for damage resulting from vehicles parking too close to each other or occupants opening doors against other

vehicles. HOW IT WORKS With Automated Valet Parking, sensor technology set up in the car park takes over the control of the vehicle and manages all the traffic inside the parking area. This is done via vehicle-to-infrastructure

communication. The car park sensors recognise and localise the vehicle to guide its parking manoeuvre. If the infrastructure senses something in the vehicle’s path, such as a pedestrian, vehicle or hazard, it stops the vehicle immediately. Upon arriving at the car

park, the driver leaves the vehicle in a designated area and uses the FordPass app to start the automated guidance to a free parking space. When the car is parked, it could also become a personal parcel drop-off point, with delivery companies accessing the vehicle to leave parcels in

the boot. In the future, further connected services could be developed to offer more convenience and benefits to customer. Drivers use the FordPass app to request the return of the vehicle to the designated area, expediting the pick-up experience and enabling the

driver and passengers to comfortably enter the vehicle. This saves any long walks through large car parks or the potential problem of trying to find the vehicle again. The solution can be deployed by installing sensors into established car parks or with embedded infrastructure planned into the construction of new car parks that enables optimised design for maximum capacity. It would be suitable for vehicles already on the road which have automatic transmission, Electronic Stability Control, an electric park-brake and assisted steering. All that the vehicle additionally requires is a smart communication unit for Automated Valet Parking. This follows Ford’s recent announcement, of the opening of the Detroit Smart Parking Lab (DSPL) next month; a unique facility providing a physical environment for testing advanced technologies in parking, logistics and electric vehicle charging. It will be open for collaboration with pioneers in these areas to simulate realworld scenarios.

NEW OPEL MOKKA SRI T

he new Opel Mokka is based on the GT X Experimental concept car from 2018 and is a replacement for the first-generation Mokka, which had the ‘X’ appendix after its name. The ‘X’ has been dropped from the name this time around, but there is no comparison between the new Mokka and what went before it. The new Opel Mokka is a handsome, proud and assertively stylish compact crossover, which cuts a dash in any carpark, while highlights include strikinglydesigned wheels that are pushed out to the corners for greater interior space, the new-era Opel Vizor front fascia, and a dash of colour that begins at the base of the windscreen and ends at the rear of the car.

FRESH NEW LOOK The new Mokka gives buyers a fresh new look, new tech and a more modern driving experience than ever, while a wide range of trim and engine choices will enable the Mokka to secure a large share of the compact crossover market. While the previous Mokka was conceived under the ownership of Opel’s previous custodian, General Motors, the secondgeneration car borrows mechanical know-how from the Stellantis Group, specifically the side formerly

known as Groupe PSA before it joined forces with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. To this end, the Mokka now rides on the same CMP platform as the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback, and it shares the same engines too, with petrol, diesel and fully electric options available. TRIM & ENGINE OPTIONS The new Opel Mokka is available in a choice of three trim levels – SC, SRi and Elite – with an impressive array of comfort, convenience, and safety features coming as standard across the

range. The petrol engine in the new Mokka is a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged unit which produces 110bhp or 130bhp depending on the model chosen. This ‘PureTech’ engine has won numerous awards across various applications, and is widely praised for its combination of refinement, economy, durability and power. Diesel power is provided by a 1.5-litre turbocharged unit with 110bhp, while the new fully-electric Mokka-e (which I previously reviewed) produces 136bhp. A six-speed manual transmission is standard across all trim levels in both petrol and diesel power, while an 8-speed automatic is available with the 1.2-litre 130bhp petrol engine in both SRi and Elite trim levels. TEST CAR My test car was a new Opel Mokka SRi 1.2-litre petrol which was mated to a super-smooth 8-speed

automatic transmission for pure driving pleasure. Finished in striking Jade White metallic paint with a contrasting black roof, wheel arch protectors, door mirrors, alloy wheels and bumper trim, the car really turned heads no matter where I drove in it. This in itself proved to me that the Opel design team has successfully and dramatically transformed Opel’s aesthetic spirit into an ultra-modern and desirable one. The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine pulls strongly throughout the rev range, and with 128bhp and 230Nm of torque on board, it is never found wanting in terms of performance. The eight-speed automatic transmission in the Mokka is so simple to use, while a choice of three driving modes – Sport, Eco

and Normal – puts performance-enhancing technology at the driver’s fingertips. Spending time behind the wheel of the new Mokka made me appreciate just how much better it is than the car it replaces. Excellent driving dynamics, strong brake pedal feel, and terrific body control ensure that the new Mokka is a compelling driver’s car in every respect. Standard SRi specification includes key features such as Eco-LED headlamps, LED daytime running headlamps, LED front fog lights, automatic high beam assist, rear LED lighting signature, 17” black alloy wheels, sports alloy pedals, SRi interior trim with red highlights, jet black cloth and leather-effect seat trim with red stitching, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB connectivity, 2 USB

ports in rear cabin, electronic climate control, front centre armrest, rear parking sensors with 180degree panoramic rear view camera, collision avoidance sensor with brake assist, pedestrian detection alert, electronic cruise control with speed limiter, enhanced traffic sign recognition, and lane keep assist. CABIN & BOOT SPACE Boot space in the new Mokka can range from 350litres when the rear seat backs are in place, to an impressive 1,105-litres when the rear seat backs are folded flat, while back seat passengers will find ample head and leg room on offer. The new Mokka’s infotainment system is simple to navigate through, while a high-contrast white font on a black background works well in high and low light conditions. The cabin in the new Mokka is well laid-out and very functional, with my

Test Drive the New OPEL

overall impression being that build quality and craftsmanship are top class. The new Mokka’s interior design is light years ahead of its predecessor, and is helped in no small part by a pair of digital displays for the infotainment and instrument panels. The small gear selector on the centre console looks very stylish, and this adds to the upmarket look and feel of the new Mokka’s cabin.

PRICING & WARRANTY The marvellous new Opel Mokka is priced from just €23,295 and, with a choice of colour combinations and optional extras available, buyers can personalise their new Mokka to their desired taste. My test car specification is priced from €28,795, while the fully-electric Mokka-e is available from €33,038 (inclusive of an SEAI grant and VRT rebate - t’s & c’s apply). Opel’s 3Year/100,000km warranty comes as standard.

10 WAYS TO REDUCE CAR INSURANCE IN ASSOCIATION WITH

inding affordable car insurance is becoming an increasingly difficult task. With so many different car insurance companies and brokers online your options are now more plentiful, however, the loops to qualify for the insurance are becoming more difficult to jump through. The tips below should help you navigate your way through the market finding the best premium available.

1. Vehicle Sports cars, modified cars and vehicles with high engine cc or a high brake horsepower (BHP) are classed as high-risk vehicles and this will be reflected in the premium. So before you purchase a vehicle, ensure that you get a quotation from your insurance company.

2. Value your vehicle correctly Valuing your vehicle for more than its worth is pointless and will only add to increasing your premium. In the unfortunate event that your vehicle is written

off by your insurance company, you will only be paid out a fair market valuation of what your vehicle was worth at the time of write off. Vehicle Management System (VMS) who is the parent company of MyVehicle.ie currently provide the majority of Insurance companies throughout Ireland, a fully auditable fair market valuation, which is available to the general public at www.MyVehicle.ie

3. Additional Policies and Discounts If you have a home insurance

policy with the same company, you may be entitled to discount off your car insurance.

An excess is the amount of money that you must pay upfront if you submit a claim.

4. Experience

6. Incentives

If you are in a position to add a driver to your policy that has more recorded driving experience, this may assist in reducing the risk and potentially lower your premium.

5. Increase your excess If you have not been involved in an accident or claim for a number of years, you may be able to opt for an increased excess charge in order to reduce your overall premium.

Some insurance companies offer special discounts for safe driver or advanced driver schemes. These can include committing to taking a package of driving lessons, driving courses, driver monitoring and low vehicle usage (less than 5,000 km per year).

7. License A full license with no penalty points will assist in reducing your premium.

8. Parking If you have access to a garage to park your car in at night, mention this to your insurance company, as there may be an additional discount due to this.

9. Breakdown service The majority of car insurance policies tend to include a breakdown service. If your vehicle is brand new, it is more than likely that the vehicle will include a 12-month breakdown service by the manufacturer so you could request that this is removed from your premium. It is always advised that you have some form of breakdown cover or assistance, so check

WHAT IS A VEHICLE A

WARRANTY?

warranty is a promise in writing to fix any problems that may arise in a set period of time which gives a consumer peace of mind and saves money in repairs. A warranty may cover components such as the engine, electrics, gearbox steering, suspension and much more. All new cars come with a warranty of some kind, so if something goes wrong within the terms of the warranty period, you will not have to pay for any repairs. Even if you’re buying secondhand, many garages provide some sort of warranty on the used cars they sell. In the unlikely case it doesn’t come with a warranty you can protect against unexpected motoring repair bills by taking out a third-party warranty. NEW CAR WARRANTY Every new car comes with some type of warranty which will cover you if anything unexpected happens to damage your vehicle. Most car warranties range between one and five years, the most common being the three-year period. For example, Opel models purchased gives a 3 year/100,000km warranty giving their customers peace of mind when purchasing a car. Under a new car warranty, a consumer can ask any franchise dealer to resolve their car problem, meaning these warranties are transferable from dealer to dealer. Also, if there is still some time left on the manufacturer’s warranty when it is sold on, the warranty can be transferred to the next owner of the vehicle. The subsequent owner of the vehicle may have to register the warranty again with the dealer on behalf of the manufacturer just to affirm that the warranty will be continuing in the future. The terms and conditions of the new warranty may vary for each vehicle so make sure you read very carefully! 28 MotorMarket

with the vehicle manufacturer, insurance company or MyVehicle.ie 12 Month Breakdown Membership assistance.

10.Comprehensive or Third Party When insuring your vehicle, it is worth taking some time to consider whether a comprehensive or third-party policy is for you. Normally if the vehicle is relatively old (not a classic car) and not overly expensive, it may be worth considering opting for a third party policy in order to reduce your premium.

USED CAR WARRANTY Used cars usually come with some sort of warranty but are not as comprehensive and are a shorter period of time in comparison to new car warranties. They can range from a three month period to a year warranty. These warranties are nontransferable. This means that if it needs to be repaired, it has to be brought back to the original dealer from which you purchased it from. The most extensive warranties are manufacturer approved used car warranties from car dealerships. This is known as an ‘approved used vehicle’. This term often describes a car that a consumer returned to the dealer who originally sold it. Used warranties are usually very similar from participating dealerships across the country, but warranty details may still vary from dealer to dealer. They may have their own unique guarantee for used cars and may cover different things so make sure if the car has a warranty that you always read the terms and conditions to check what this covers. Usually, private sales don’t come with a warranty. If you are buying a used vehicle from a private seller always get the seller’s contact details if you have a problem later on. But there may be little you can do if you do discover a problem after the sale. Unfortunately, consumer protection legislation does not cover private sales so the responsibility lies with the consumer to be careful when buying from a private seller and be aware of what you are buying. You should always get a vehicle history report from a trusted source before you buy a used car. provides the public with the most crucial and relevant information on used cars and can reveal any problems the car has had in the past.

NEW AUDI Q4 E-TRON Broaden your horizons

redited as having a similar exterior footprint as the Audi Q3 (compact premium SUV) and similar interior dimensions as the Audi Q5 (mid-size premium SUV), the new Audi Q4 e-tron is a hot contender for class honours in the fully-electric mid-size premium SUV market. With the Q4 e-tron, Audi has created a true all-rounder – a confident companion for everyday life and leisure, and is suitable in every way as a household’s main car. The new Q4 e-tron is available in traditional SUV and a sleek Sportback bodystyles, and is expected to be Audi’s biggest seller behind the A3 hatchback across Europe.

By DECLAN GLYNN • www.motoringmatters.ie when the rear seats are folded flat.

PROGRESSIVE DESIGN The Q4 e-tron’s body line impresses thanks to its short front overhangs, large wheels, and powerfully toned muscles. The brand’s progressive design is typically Audi, as functional as it is aerodynamic: The Q4 e-tron achieves a drag coefficient of 0.28, and the Sportback gets to an even lower figure, with a drag coefficient of 0.26. The Q4 e-tron outshines other premium mid-size SUV rivals on range, with a claimed maximum of 511km’s, while its fast charging capability means that those longer trips away from home need not require meticulous planning.

The Q4 e-tron is perfectly placed to lead Audi’s charge into the Electric Vehicle (EV) mainstream, and it provides buyers with an accessible alternative to a more conventional petrol or diesel model. UPMARKET CABIN The upmarket cabin of the Q4 e-tron is ergonomically-appointed and tastefully designed, with terrific head, leg and elbow room for all occupants. At 4.59 metres in length, it offers a package that gives the passengers on board class-leading space, while the lack of a central tunnel in the floor means that all 3 rear seat

occupants can equally share the same level of comfort. When it comes to storage compartments, the Q4 e-tron scores top marks, with total storage space of around 25 litres, and the bottle holders integrated in the upper section of the rear doors are a further highlight. The instrument panel is turned towards the driver for greater efficiency, and is divided into separate areas with two integrated displays, while getting comfortable behind the wheel is never an issue. A 520-litre boot space should be big enough for most families, but this can be expanded to 1,490-litres

POWER & TRIM OPTIONS Presently, there are two different power set-ups for the Q4 e-tron – the entry ‘35’ model has a 55kWh battery and a single, rear-mounted 168bhp electric motor, while the ‘40’ model boasts a 82kWh battery and 204bhp. Three trim levels are on offer – Advance, Sport and S Line – with a long list of optional extras available for the ultimate in personalisation. Standard equipment across the model range is impressive, with cuttingedge technology and infotainment systems, along with LED front & rear lights, stylish 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels (depending on the trim level chosen), aluminium roof rails, foldable rear seat, and a double-spoke leather sports steering wheel - flattened at the top and bottom - with multifunction and shift paddles. EASY CHARGING The entry Q4 e-tron 35 has 100kW fast-charging capability, while the 40 models improve on this with a 125kW charging rate, which means that both can

top-up from 5 to 80 per cent in just 38 minutes. Thanks to a holistic charging offering with smart solutions for home and on the road, you can drive electrically without having to make any compromises. CAR ON REVIEW My review car was a Q4 e-tron 40 Advance which looked very elegant in Geyser Blue metallic paint. Producing 204bhp and a hefty 310Nm of torque, along with a battery range of up to 511km, the Q4 e-tron 40 can complete a 0-100km/h sprint in just 8.5-seconds. The flat-top and flatbottom steering wheel feels great and adds a real dash of sportiness to the cabin, with all important controls placed within easy reach of the driver – such as the climate control buttons

conveniently located beneath the touchscreen. There are a selection of drive modes (Audi drive select) to choose from – Comfort, Auto, Efficiency, Individual or Dynamic, and there is also a ‘B’ mode on the gear selector which boosts energy recuperation, with the advantage of being able to adjust the amount of regeneration by using the paddles on the steering wheel. The instant torque from the Q4 e-tron’s electric motor enables flawless acceleration from a standing start, while overtaking manoeuvres can be performed with confidence. The car is predictably stable at motorway speeds, while its low centre of gravity promotes a balanced feel as you make progress through twisty back roads.

A strong brake pedal feel, responsive steering and excellent road manners are also commendable traits, and ensure that Audi’s fullyelectric compact SUV is the perfect companion for everyday family life on the go. VERDICT & PRICING If you are looking to buy a premium family SUV, and are ready to go fully-electric, then the new Audi Q4 e-tron is certainly worthy of consideration. Wellequipped, practical and relaxing to drive, the Q4 etron left a very positive impression on me in every respect. Pricing starts at just €40,788 (including dealer costs, and SEAI and Government incentives currently available).

FORD CUSTOM is on the right ‘Trail’

By DECLAN GLYNN • www.motoringmatters.ie

hen it comes to vans, Ford is a consistent market leader here in Ireland. However, not content with resting on its laurels, Ford has now launched the Transit Custom Trail. Combining the practicality of the standard van with the rugged appeal of a pick-up truck, head-turning admiration is guaranteed. The new Custom Trail model has been designed specifically to operate in tougher working environments, with the enhanced traction of a new mechanical limited-slip differential (mLSD) to limit the amount of wheelspin when the driven wheels lose grip under acceleration. Exclusive exterior and interior upgrades further ensure the Custom Trail is equipped to deliver comfort and capability in challenging conditions, without compromising practicality. GO-ANYWHERE SPIRIT The Transit Custom Trail features additional black cladding around the front and rear lower bumpers and side panels. Oversized ‘Ford’ lettering in the matte black front grille embodies the vehicles’ goanywhere spirit and takes styling cues from the iconic Ford Performance Raptor off-road series, complimented by unique 16inch black alloy wheels and ‘Trail’ logo’s on the front doors. Additionally, roof rails and running boards can be specified for added versatility and visual appeal. ENHANCED TRACTION AND HANDLING Developed in partnership with driveline technology specialists Quaife, the mLSD automatically transfers engine torque in low grip conditions to the wheel with the most raction, allowing the Custom Trail to more comfortably tackle unpaved roads, gravel tracks and

rugged or challenging surfaces, while the standard Electronic Stability Control system has also been recalibrated to harmonise with the mLSD. The same technology has previously been used to enhance the traction and handling characteristics of Ford Performance models including the Focus RS, Fiesta ST and Focus ST, and has no negative impact on Co2 enissions or fuel efficiency. In addition to improving the Custom Trail’s capability, the mLSD’s compact size and lightweight design maintains optimised payloads and full interior load volume. ECOBLUE DIESEL POWER Powering the new Transit Custom Trail is Ford’s advanced 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine with a choice of 130PS, 170PS and 185PS power outputs. Ford EcoBlue engines are designed to help make light work of heavy loads

and steep inclines, with a broad spread of torque available at low engine speeds. In addition, selected Transit Custom Trail models offer the efficiency benefits of electrified powertrains with Ford’s unique-insegment 2.0-litre EcoBlue Hybrid powertrains. The 48-volt mild hybrid technology recovers energy during deceleration, stores it in a 48-volt battery pack, and uses the energy to increase fule efficiency. The new Transit Custom Trail model is available with GVM from 3,000kg to 3,400kg in a range of body styles, including panel van, double-cab-in-van and Kombi, in a choice of two wheelbases. VAN ON REVIEW My review van was a Ford Transit Custom Trail 300 SWB (170PS), which was fitted with a six-speed manual transmission and was finished in ever-popular Moondust Silver metallic

paint with contrasting black cladding. Producing 168bhp (170PS) and an impressive 390Nm of torque, swift acceleration is a given, with the slick manual transmission proving itself to be a pleasure to navigate through. The mLSD diff in the Custom Trail isn’t compatible with Ford’s automatic gearbox, so all Trail models come in manual guise only. In addition to the exclusive Custom Trail features mentioned earlier, other standard items include full leather interior, power fold door mirrors, projector style halogen headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights and static cornering fog lights, lockable glovebox, front & rear parking sensors, auto lights & wipers, driver seat lumbar adjustment, SYNC 3 with an 8” colour TFT touch screen and Emergency Assistance, cruise control with adjustable speed limiter, Quickclear heated windscreen, leathertrimmed steering wheel, ‘easy clean’ load floor, and map reading lights. A host of excellent-value optional items and packages are also available, allowing buyers to personalise their van to their specific taste and budget. DYNAMIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE On the road it becomes very apparent that the Custom Trail is a great driving van that offers plenty of power, excellent handling, tremendous refinement, and superb visibility, while consuming as little as 7.0litres of diesel for every 100km’s driven on a combined driving cycle. The Custom Trail’s steering is particularly 32 MotorMarket

impressive, being direct and responsive both around town and on the open road, while chunky tyres and an excellent suspension set-up soak up big bumps with ease. Ford has a strong reputation for both handling and ride quality across both its passenger car and commercial ranges, and the

Custom Trail excels in both areas. PRICING The entry price for the Ford Custom panel van range starts at €27,145 with the rugged and practical Trail models priced from €34,110 (prices quoted include VAT & VRT, but exclude delivery & related

charges). In 2020, the Transit family of commercial vehicles played a significant role in Ford being the most-popular commercial vehicle brand in Europe for the fifth year in a row. The new go-anywhere Transit Custom Trail models are sure to enhance this popularity even more.

The exterior design is complemented by a contemporary, practical cabin featuring the very latest technology.

Line trim levels, the All-New Arkana features an extensive list of standard equipment including EASY LINK touchscreen display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, diamondcut alloy wheels and full LED lighting technology. The distinctive exterior is complemented by a spacious, comfortable interior trimmed with high quality materials across all models, featuring sophisticated details including multiple ambient lighting choices and premium upholstery options. Based on the CMF-B modular platform, the All-New Arkana is longer than the popular Kadjar SUV and in spite of its sleek, dynamic profile offers generous interior space to complement the high driving position popular with drivers of Renault’s SUVs. The All-New Arkana is available with Advanced

Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) ensuring the safest and most reassuring drive. The choice of powertrains is comprehensive, with an emphasis on superior efficiency balanced with impressive performance across both advanced, electrified options: the E-Tech hybrid and TCe petrol mild-hybrid. Renault’s first SUV with coupéinspired styling, the All-New Arkana features a unique design in the Renault line-up without compromising on practicality and usability. With its athletic, sloping profile, modern design touches and the most up-to-date lighting technology delivering a standout signature, the All-New Arkana provides a distinctive and sleek presence on the road. Despite its coupé-like profile, the AllNew Arkana’s SUV body style promises an inviting interior environment with no compromise in usability thanks to clever packaging, high-quality materials and the very latest technologies and equipment. Behind the sleek lines and sporty proportions lies a practical interior that, thanks to the SUV ride height, is also easy to access. The All-New Arkana’s dynamic proportions and sportier aesthetic disguise a cleverly packaged and spacious interior. The rear seats have been oriented to maximise leg and head room for rear occupants, while the 513litre boot (480 litres on Arkana E-Tech Hybrid) ensures a generous load area with a variable-height boot floor featuring on petrol versions. For maximum interior space, the rear seats fold, leaving a level, flat load area for bulkier items. Renault’s first purpose-built hybrid model, and a key model in pushing forward the broadened electrification of Renault’s model range, the All-New Arkana is powered by the advanced E-Tech hybrid powertrain across every trim level. The all-new Renault Arkana is available now from just €28,990.

FAQs on BUYING A USED CAR OR VEHICLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Do the RSA have any advice on buying a used car or vehicle? Yes. Never, ever, buy a used car or vehicle without at least: a) getting a qualified mechanic to independently inspect it, b) carrying out a comprehensive history check through online websites and c) asking the trader or seller for service records. Where do I locate a qualified motor engineer? You can contact the Institute of automotive engineers and assessors (IAEA) https://www.iaea-online.org who may be able to provide you with a list of qualified motor engineers in your area. Is it safe to buy a used vehicle if it has a valid roadworthiness cert? No – A roadworthiness cert is a basic safety check on a vehicle every year or two years depending on age and vehicle type. Cars need to be serviced roughly every six months or earlier depending on mileage. The NCT or CVRT centres do not dismantle a vehicle so only parts that can be seen and are accessible can be inspected as part of the test. Also, there is no guarantee that the vehicle has not been crashed or that components have not become excessively worn since its last test. There is also the risk that an NCT or CVRT cert is fake. Where can I check if a roadworthiness cert is fake? You can log onto the following websites: • NCT certs at www.ncts.ie and entering the vehicle registration number and • CVRT certs for commercial vehicles at www.cvrt.ie and

entering registration number. This is free and shows the expiry date of the vehicle’s last roadworthiness cert issued. What is a clocked vehicle? This is a vehicle whose odometer or mileage recorder has been put back or reduced so that it appears to have less miles on the clock. Is a clocked vehicle dangerous? A vehicle that has been ‘clocked’ could turn out to be both dangerous and expensive as it may have more worn parts than expected. Always carry out a comprehensive history check before buying a used vehicle and get an independent qualified mechanic to inspect it thoroughly.

it has outstanding finance. • Ask to see the vehicle’s service history book and check for regular maintenance and the odometer recording. Is there a law against clocking vehicles? Yes. • It is illegal to interfere or engage another person to interfere with an odometer. Road Traffic Act, 2014 • It is an offence for a trader to mislead customers by providing false information in relation to a ‘products usage or prior history’. The Consumer Protection Act 2007 Enforcement of road traffic law is the responsibility of An Garda Síochána.

I bought a used vehicle and just found out it was clocked. Do I have any rights? Contact the competition and consumer protection commission (CCPC) on 1890-432432 to establish what your rights and options are under consumer protection legislation. If you have concerns as to whether your vehicle is safe to drive bring it to a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection.

How can I report a clocked vehicle? Contact your local garda station or competition and consumer protection commission CCPC who have successively taken cases against traders for misleading customers by providing false information in relation to the usage and prior history of vehicles. If the dealer or garage is a member of SIMI (Society of the Irish Motor Industry) you may also wish to report to them.

How do I find out if a vehicle has been clocked? • Check the NCT/CVRT odometer history on the test certificate and the current reading on the disc. Ask to see the certificate or disc and compare with the reading on the vehicle now. • Carry out a comprehensive history check through online websites (a fee may apply). This can show if a vehicle has been written off, clocked or if

Are there legitimate reasons why an earlier reading is higher than a more recent one? Yes, there may be legitimate reasons e.g. if an odometer has been replaced. However, this mostly relates to commercial vehicles and should only be carried out for genuine reasons. If there has been an inadvertent change to the odometer reading while an owner is undertaking a repair, then every effort should

be made to rectify this with the repairer. A buyer should always ask if the mileage is genuine and if a seller indicates that an odometer has been replaced ask why and ask for certified proof of the original mileage from the seller. Why does the NCT not check for clocked cars and report them? The NCTS is not responsible for policing odometer fraud or clocked vehicles. The data recorded at the NCT is transferred to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF)where it is stored and An Garda Síochána have access to this data. Enforcement of the road traffic acts relating to clocking is the responsibility of the gardai. How can a clocked vehicle pass NCT? A clocked car could have more worn parts than would be expected. Despite the additional mileage it may have been serviced and or parts replaced before sale. It is important to note also that the NCT cert is not a warranty. We strongly advise all potential buyers to carry out a history check and get a vehicle independently checked by a qualified mechanic before buying regardless of whether it has a valid NCT or not. Contact NCT customer service team to make a complaint on 01-4135994. How do I find out if a used car has ever been written-off or clocked? • You can get an indication if a car has been clocked or written off by carrying out a comprehensive history check

online. • You may also view our FAQs on written off vehicles and clocked vehicles as linked above. If a used car is purchased from a garage or trader, do I still need to get it independently checked? We still recommend getting a car independently checked. If possible, get a warranty for the car and ask the garage to write the current odometer reading on the receipt. If the dealer is not willing to offer this, consider walking away from the sale. If warranty is offered check the terms and conditions to see what it says about the seller’s obligations. Always carry out some research on the garage or trader and always ask to see the vehicle registration certificate. Is it enough to just do a history check on a used vehicle? • While a history check may tell you if a vehicle has ever been written off, clocked or even stolen, it will not tell you whether the tyres are safe or whether certain or critical components are just about to fail. • A qualified mechanic should be able to identify worn or dangerous parts. • Also check the vehicle’s service history for regular maintenance. What is a written off vehicle? Also referred o as an insurance write-off, it is a vehicle that has been damaged and declared by a motor insurance company as not worth repairing. There are two types of writeoffs: Category A or B write-off Cars which have been damaged

to such an extent that they must not be used on the road again. These vehicles must be brought to an authorised treatment facility which will issue a certificate of destruction. Category C or D write-off Cars which have sustained damage and are identified by insurance companies as financially not worth repairing i.e. the repair would cost more than the value of the car. Financial write-offs can be put back on the road again but we strongly recommend you have it certified by a qualified mechanic beforehand. Driving a written off car can be extremely dangerous. The physical strength and operation of the vehicle may be seriously compromised. This also applies to written off vehicles which have not been repaired correctly. I have owned my car for a few years. Why am I only finding out now that it is classed as a write-off? New legislation was introduced under the Road Traffic Act 2016 (Part 2) which obliges insurance companies and importers to declare write-offs to the driver and vehicle computer services division (DVCSD). Previously it was voluntary so it may be the case that cars which were written off but not declared at that time are being declared now by insurance companies. Log onto DVCSD to clarify what action is required. If you have any concerns as to the safety of your vehicle have it thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic. Who is responsible for taking a vehicle to the authorised treatment facility (ATF)?

Only Category A and B write-offs need to be brought to an ATF by the person who is in current ownership of the vehicle. See also our FAQ on End of Life Vehicles. How do I find out if a vehicle is or has ever been written off? You can check the history of the vehicle through online websites for a fee even if it’s a UK import. You should also bring it to a qualified mechanic and seek advice as to whether it is in a roadworthy condition and safe to drive. Why is there no law stopping the sale of written off vehicles in Ireland? Legislation was introduced under Road Traffic Act 2016 Part 2 which legally obliges insurance companies and importers to declare A and B category writeoffs to the (DVCSD) who will then lock down these vehicles preventing any motor tax renewal or change of ownership transactions taking place. Category C and D write-offs can be put back on the road following repair as these are considered to be financial writeoffs only. Nonetheless it is important to remember that it is your legal responsibility to ensure the car you are driving is roadworthy and safe. We strongly advise anyone buying a used

vehicle to have it independently inspected by a qualified mechanic and carry out a detailed history check beforehand. How can a written off vehicle pass the NCT? Provided the NCT is notified category A and B write-offs will not be allowed to undergo a test. Category C and D write-offs can be put back on the road once repaired and therefore can also be tested. It is important to remember that the NCT is not the same as a warranty. It is a check at a point in time that a vehicle meets a basic standard. It is not a detailed mechanical investigation. The vehicle cannot be dismantled during the NCT so only parts that can be seen and are accessible can be checked. I bought a car privately and found out it’s a write off – do I have any rights? You should contact the competition and consumer protection commission (CCPC) to establish what your rights and options are under consumer protection legislation. In addition, you may wish to contact An Garda Síochána who have responsibility for road traffic enforcement. Can I register a written-off vehicle?

• If your vehicle is an A or B category write-off you will not be able to register it again. It must be destroyed. • If it is a C or D category writeoff you will need to contact the driver and vehicle computer services division (DVCSD) or email: motortax@dttas.ie to clarify what action is required. Can I insure a written-off vehicle? Any insurance queries must be directed to your insurance provider. Where do I locate a qualified mechanic or automotive engineer? Contact (IAEA) the Institute of automotive engineer assessors who may be able to provide you with a list of qualified automotive engineers in your area. Is it safe to buy an imported vehicle? When importing a vehicle an appointment should be made with Revenue to have the vehicle inspected within seven days of it entering the state in order to register it and pay VRT. The registration process must be completed within 30 days of entry into the state. For further information on importation, VRT and registration

contact Revenue.

insurance policy.

Can I import a vehicle without a valid roadworthiness cert? Yes. However once the vehicle is registered a valid roadworthiness test must be carried out.

I imported a car paid VRT, motor tax and NCT but insurance company will not insure as it is outside their normal insurance criteria. Can you advise? You will need to contact Insurance Ireland.

Can I transfer insurance onto a vehicle without a valid roadworthiness cert? Contact your insurance provider or Insurance Ireland. What documentation is required when importing a vehicle? When importing a vehicle you will need to contact Revenue. If I import a vehicle from an EU member state with a valid roadworthiness cert can I use it on Irish roads? Yes. Since 20 May 2018 you can now exchange a valid roadworthiness certificate from any EU member state. For further information on mutual recognition of roadworthiness certs for cars click https://www.ncts.ie and for commercial vehicles click https://www.cvrt.ie If I purchase a car in Northern Ireland or UK and transfer my insurance, am I insured to drive it here? Contact your insurance provider for details relating to your

Is there a timeframe for driving an imported car temporarily in Ireland? Yes. A vehicle registered abroad may be granted temporary exemption from registration here in Ireland if the period does not exceed 12 months, but this can be extended. For further information visit Revenue. Are insurance companies obliged to inform Revenue when a vehicle is imported into Ireland so that it can be tested and VRT paid on entry into state? For information on the legal obligations of insurance companies contact Insurance Ireland. You will need to contact Revenue for queries relating to importation, VRT and registration. I am importing a car from Japan which will be subject to newNOx tax introduced on 01 January 2020. Do RSA have NOx ratings? As taxing of vehicles does not fall

under the remit of the RSA, you will need to contact your local motor tax office or email them at Motortax@dttas.ie. As NOx falls under the remit of Revenue, you will need to contact them regarding calculation of NOx rates here. What should I look out for when purchasing a used motor caravan or horse box? We would always recommend that: • you have a qualified mechanic check out the vehicle independently and that • you carry out a comprehensive history check through official vehicle history check websites. Also note that as these vehicles spend much of their lives stationary, parked or in storage for prolonged periods particularly over the winter months. They may have low odometer readings and may also suffer premature deterioration externally eg. tyres and paintwork if not properly protected and stored which can affect their performance at testing.
