Car Tax Query

I have a friend who owns a 04 SUV. She has just realised that the Vehicle Lience Cert states that her SUV is registered as a commerical SUV. Since she purchased the SUV from a dealer who purchased in the north, she has been paying full tax for a passenger vehicle (€1300). My question is, if she goes to get the cert changed, is she liable for VRT + penalities or is the dealer who 1st brought the vehicle into the country but would appear to have not paid the VRT ????
 
the vrt might have been paid. it used to be common to pay the vrt and then get a doe and tax it commercially while leaving the seats in. 254 instead of 1300 p.a. . the gov copped on however and stopped the testing centres from doe-ing jeeps unless the seats are gone and all seatbelt mounts etc are permanently welded up.
