Default Bringing a car into Uk from South. Irl which is on UK plates

Okay one of the lads is going working in the uk for a 1-2 years. He has a car on english plates over here which he imported 1-2 years ago but never registered her, it is parked up since bringing in etc.
He asked whats the process involved, im unsure so.. I presume the previous owner sent the V5 form off to UK DVLA at time of transfer and it has being recognised as exported...

Is it a matter of filling out a few forms or what before he brings it over or after he brings it over etc??
Once its over i presume he can tax it without the MOT and MOT to follow etc?? Or must it be MOTed first and then to be taxed??

right, its possible the v5 wasnt even sent off as exported, go to the tax disc direct website and do an enquirey, if there an export marker on it it will have yes or whatever wrote next to it, in that case re register, its not hard

if nothing then drive it over and send off for a v5 simples

Type the reg and make into this and see if DVLA have a record of it;

http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/Evl...ehicle+Enquiry

If the previous owner didn't send off the v5 then he (the previous owner) will have been getting reminders and fines for no Tax or Sorn.
