About Car Facts IE

Free, independent buying guides for used cars in Ireland, built from real numbers.

Where the figures come from

• Prices: typical asking prices worked out each week from 84,119 used cars advertised for sale in Ireland. We publish summaries (typical prices, ranges, counts), never individual ads.
• NCT results: the Road Safety Authority's official make and model figures for first tests.
• Motor tax: the Department of Transport's official rates.
• Faults and repair costs: known weak spots for each model and engine, with typical Irish independent-garage prices.

How the site is paid for

Some parts links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what the guides say about a car.

A guide, not a guarantee

Every car is different. Always run a history check on the registration, view it in daylight, start it from cold, test drive it and, if in doubt, have a mechanic look at it before you buy.
