Please help with advise:
I have a following situation:
bought a car with NI plates 3 years ago(2008).
never used it, as it needed loads or work to be done.
So it was sitting on my back yard for years.
Now I am in situation, that I want to use this car.

I want to pay VRT etc.
As long as I know, there is a penalty, if I did not pay VRT in time ( in 2008).
the story is, that I didn't registered car on my name yet.

What would you recommend:
shell I send documents to registry office with date 01/01/2008 and pay all penalty? Will they even register date of purchase 2008?
what penalty could it be? if they'll charge me huge penalty and I won't want to pay it, will I be able just pull out or I'll be liable any way?

Or shell I send documents with purchase date 2011?

Off the road for 3 years? Was it up on blocks? If not, the tyres must be rottin!

Unless it was take for short drives to move the tyres ;)
 
ok, tyres need to be changed and some minor things done as well.
it is not a new, fancy car, just need a car and I can not afford to by another one, when this one is sitting on my back yard....
my question is not about tyres actually...
 
I had a uk reg car in my garage for 5 years and cleared it then with no fines for late clearance - - is the fine a new thing?
 
I don't have the answer to your query, but I think you would get a lot more replies and advice if you posted in the "Cars and Motoring" forum.
