It still needs to be tested every year as its a commercial vehicle, regardless of the fact your running it as a private vehicle !

so even though it's private you have to the commercial cost of 111?

If there are two options when it comes to cars or vans....guaranteed you will get nailed with the most expensive one

Jesus it's only €111.16 down this part of the world you're getting screwed at €111.60 but ya it's a rip off and around €44 for a retest if it fails, when you get the invoice have a look at how much is tax that'll sicken you even more

Welcome to Ireland. Nothing makes sense when it comes down to cars and vans.

I'm having a petrol car I use for business purposes, I can't claim vat on petrol because diesel is what 'they' decided is for business. It's ridiculous.

I got a van tested last year and it failed due to rust. I got it repaired and re-tested only for them to find another problem that required more repairs and a second retest. 111 + 44 + 44 on top of cost of repairs. Also, it all had to be done within 21 days of first test, otherwise it would be classed as a new test at a cost of 111. I argued the second retest charge but got no joy. Total ripoff. To make things worse its an annual test

The rsa monitor the doe test centers by cctv and often turn up unannounced and retest a vehicle that's been passed just to make sure that the testers aren't letting anything through unless it's 100%

If u have the van taxed and insured privately u might be able to get it ncted rather than a doe. The only good thing with the doe is that in the course of a year there shouldn't be any major problem with van unless u are dogging it all the time. €111 could save ur life if the guy picks up something seriously wrong

It's the greatest scam going . They give us crap roads to drive on so our vehicles get damaged and then we pay to get them tested . The whole government should be put up against the wall for the hookery and crookery that goes on here .

But you can claim mileage which is more tax efficient

There's the key point. It could actually save your life. It could save numerous lives. The price has fluctuated quite a bit over the last twenty years. There was a time when it was €120 and then you had to pay your local authority another €20 just to print out the crw. That used to really boil my piss. At least now when you pay for the test you get the certificate without paying another fee.
