How do I tax and MOT in the UK a car that is registered in Ireland (that's the ROI)?

Edward is nearly right.

If it it over 3 years old it needs an MOT to register it.

This requires you either to get it transported to the MOT station or to insure it to the VIN number.

It can then be driven with no plates to the closest MOT station with a pre booked test.

Once registered yiu can tax it. Get the platrs made and fit them.

The basic procedure for importing a car into the UK is:

1) Buy the vehicle and have it transported to the UK.

2) Inform HMRC within two weeks of it arriving, pay VAT (you don't need to pay duty for an import from the EU, unless you're a car dealer).

3) Have the vehicle approved for UK use - from within the EU you don't need a VOSA inspection, a European Certificate of Conformity from the manufacturer will be enough.

4) Register and tax the vehicle with DVLA - if you can't prove the age of the vehicle, you'll need to get Q plates.

5) Once you receive your V5C you can have number plates made and get it insured.
