Skoda Octavia Mk2 vRS 2.0 TDI: motor tax, specs and NCT
Motor tax on a Skoda Octavia Mk2 vRS 2.0 TDI in Ireland is €400–€710 a year, depending on the year it was first registered. Cars registered before July 2008 are taxed on engine size and later ones on CO2, so the same car can cost very different amounts depending on its registration date.
