Common Modification Requirements

(United Kingdom)

In order to drive in the United Kingdom, car owners must comply with local laws and modify their vehicles before inspection to meet the requirements of registration. All vehicles with an age of less than one year to three years are required to pass the IVA inspection ; as for three to ten years old vehicle, IVA and MOT inspections are required ; and for ten to twenty-five years old vehicle, annual MOT inspection is required. To be legally registered, vehicle must pass these inspections accordingly. We have summarized three common modifications in order to facilitate vehicle registration for car owners who are relocating to the UK.

MPH Speedometer
The UK uses the imperial system instead of metric system, so car owners must install a meter that can display mph for the car, and the meter must support English.

Headlights Washer
To cope with European weather, vehicles with headlights of at least 2,000 lumen must be equipped with a headlights washer to ensure that the headlights will not be covered by dirt and dust that might scatter the light and blind other motorists.

Rear Fog Lamp
Foggy weather is common in the UK, so local regulations require vehicles to be equipped with EU-certified (E-mark) rear fog lamps to ensure that vehicles can still be seen from behind under conditions of low visibility. The fog lamps must be wired to the same power source as the headlights.

Frequently Asked Question

A. Vehicles must be owned in Hong Kong for more than 6 months and the owner must have been outside the UK for over 12 months to qualify for tax exemption. This requires submitting the relevant vehicle information on the ToR1 form for a tax exemption permit from UK customs. However, once the vehicle is registered in the UK, there is a 12-month sales restriction; selling the vehicle within this period will incur additional tax.

A. Marine insurance typically covers the vehicle as cargo and only provides compensation in the case of total loss. Vehicle owners should assess their risks and may consider purchasing additional insurance if needed.

A. Due to global supply chain issues, there is a shortage of new cars, leading to a rise in used car prices in the UK. Some models have nearly doubled in price. Therefore, shipping your beloved vehicle along with you to the UK, including all associated costs, may be more economical than purchasing a similar used car in the UK.

A. Crating the motorcycle ensures its safety within the container, reducing the risk of damage during loading, unloading, and transport. The motorcycle is packed in a wooden crate, sealed, and placed on the cargo ship.
