I've had some interest in my car from a chap in Sweden, but he states that a certificate of conformity is required - any idea as to how I get one?

It's NOT been registered overseas before being registered here in the UK, does that make a difference at all??

Conformity to what we use these at work all day for materials to prove conformity to bs/en numbers but I don't understand what conformity he would be looking for

From my understanding ... if a vehicle has been first registered in uk then they can import it to Sweden, if it has been imported from japan to uk then not EU car .on the conformity issue just sounds like he needs to find out the paperwork its a uk car .

 

Keiran - its a certificate to show it complys with EU car rules I think, same as the SVA test imports get in the UK?

Interbishi - so, if its a UK car from new, and the V5 shows its not been previously registered abroad, then he shouldn't need any other paperwork?

 

From what i have read no , if it says first reg uk .

 

That could be very handy then

 

It s for switzerland not sweden

and switzerland is not in UE

We must have

COC or CEC
UK first registration
and the first registration must not be after 31.12.2000

I don t know why but I think it s for pollution norm

 

Apologies mac94, my mistake! First post edited

 

There is a new vehicle type approval that is being rolled out over Europe. The SVA is being replaced with the IVA (Individual Vehicle Assesment) one thing that is required is the Certificate of Conformity from the manufacturer or approved test centre (ATC). It's been a few months since I've read up on it, but it sounds like that is the route your potential buyer is going through. In essence if the car passes through the UK IVA it is entitled to be sold into any other country undertaking the scheme. I'd say VOSA or the DVLA should be able to point you in the right direction, but it may be a costly procedure for the buyer.

 

Yes the COC it's only mitusubishi UK that can provide

not a dealearship

 

From what I know of the system I'm not so sure. In theory yes they should have it from when the vehicle type was initially sold in the Uk, but they may not be willing to share the CoC (I'm not sure on that) and you may have to get one yourself...which would not be cheap and could be a lengthy process.

 

I have a quick search

i found this
