A Northern Ireland registered car, so from one of only two dealers here, and their Belfast site cost £4.5 million 10 years ago, so not that poor!

You will also have discovered that you won't find any MOT details online for it either.

Yeah that’s true about MOT. is there anyway to get the previous MOT details?

As far as I know, there isn't any way of obtaining the previous MOT details. I can check my D2 history using various sites online, and it shows that the MOT doesn't expire until April 2020, but the last MOT details are from December 2010.

It's one of those things that really annoys me about Northern Ireland. We are part of the UK, and yet we have our own DVLA equivalent (the DVA). Not only that, but they spent a considerable amount of money developing an IT system, which Swansea already has, and is a very poor example of reinventing the wheel. There so-called system allows you to book/change a MOT. That's it, the sum total of what it does. I even wrote to the local MP complaining about the waste of money and the failed promises of their system, and not surprisingly, he never responded! (rant over)

Audi UK seem very reluctant to release any information about their cars. Considering they will have detailed electronic records of every car they build, they should be able to tell you everything it has, just like the build sticker.

I tried to find out how many D3s were sold in Suzuka Grey, but their response was it was 'for internal use only'.
