Importing a Car from Australia into the UK

If your vehicle is under ten years of age it will require an IVA test, this is a very strict test carried out by the DVSA (formally VOSA) to check the vehicle complies with UK regulations and European standards

From Australia this becomes a problem if you have only recently purchased the vehicle as you will also need to obtain a ‘Model Report’ from the manufacturer which can be very hard to obtain.

If you have owned the vehicle more than 6 months, lived outside of the EU for at least 12 months and are returning to the UK permanently, then a Model Report is not needed in order to test the vehicle and make things much more straight forward
