The questions I would want answers to are these:

Assuming it was the previous owner who shifted it to a scrapper in the RoI, why did he/she do that?
I don't get it. Why not dispose of it in the same jurisdiction?

What obligations did/does the scrapper have in respect of customs paperwork etc. for a UK registered car crossing the border? He's running a business so ISTM that that is a quite different scenario from a private individual buying a car direct from another individual in NI.

Is sounds like a real potential can of worms to me. My gut instinct tells me your cojones may be in a vice.
As I said I'm in no position to offer you advice on the administrative/legal implications with this.
Only those in NI/RoI who have previous experience in such matters can sensibly do so.

I'm sorry for your predicament. Hopefully you can find someone to help you going forward.


If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Perhaps a couple of phones calls to the relevant registration bodies asking very hypothetical (no names etc) questions would help you to decide ?
I'm in the same boat as Tony, no experience and limited knowledge of the ROI/NI systems regarding vehicle registration/import
