Hi Pat,

If you have documentation to prove that you've owned and used the car yourself in the UK for more than six months then you shouldn't have any VRT to pay if you're going down the "Transfer of Residence" route as defined by Revenue. 

If not, then the VRT rate will be determined by the value Revenue believes the car is worth in Ireland and the VRT band, the latter decided by the CO2 emissions rating. If you want us to estimate that for you please do let us know which engine is in the car.
