Default HELP, Buying a car from Belfast

Hi all

Just needed some advice, please.

My mate would like to buy a UK number plate car, which is in Belfast
at the moment.The car has been originally been imported from Japan
to the UK The car has been registered in Belfast for approx 1-3 years.
He would like to know if there is any way he can check if there is
any outstanding tax duty on it. Also if there are any customs to pay
when importing it back to the UK.

The car has m.o.t, tax and V5

With the car being imported into Belfast, it should have had all the UK import tax paid on it already. It would possible have been a different story had it been the Republic of Ireland.
