As title really, I looked at a subaru forester turbo import tonight. HPI'd it and got back
" No DVLA or Police Record Found for P******"
Is this what happens with imports or is it a dodgy reg? the guys only got the green slip not the full V5.
I love the car but im suspicious as fuck.
Any advice please

How long has it been in the country? If it's a fresh import a HPi will show very little.
"In order to satisfy the World Trade Organisation's concerns over fair trade, the DVLA no longer classifies the import status of any vehicle originating outside the UK. As a result your HPI Check will not provide information on the import history of the vehicle you are checking. We will however, tell you if according to the DVLA the vehicle you are checking has been previously used outside of the UK, as well as the original date of manufacture, and the date of registration within the UK, as registered with the DVLA. (*- if a vehicle is transferred between the DVA and DVLA this date will reflect the date that it was registered with the DVLA and may not be its original date of first registration, you should always check year of manufacture for any discrepancies in registration date and manufacture date, if you have any concerns we recommend you contact the DVLA directly) HPI is unable to provide any information on a vehicle before it was first registered with the DVLA, when assessing how long the vehicle spend registered abroad, the year of manufacturer and the date of first registration in the UK is often a good guideline."
