Given that it is a consumer issue I suggest it should be included not so much on the NCT side or the safety side but on the motor taxation declaration. If a consumer decides that it is in his interests to include it, knowing full well that he or she will get the benefit down the line when subsequently purchasing another vehicle then it would serve to copper-fasten the consumer angle. That is the reason I suggested it should be consumer led. By putting it through on the motor tax side it would become an official declaration or notification to the State which could be accessed by consumers for further information purposes. That was the context of my suggestion and I believe it would make sense. A little extra bureaucracy would protect the consumer.
