Foreign motor

Log it in as normal, and make a new record when instructed - It helps a lot if you've got the registration document.

Good point, on the old system you could pick the country - I haven't done a foreign plated vehicle since the change over, but unless anyone knows differently, then I would make a new record using the foreign plate details

It is easier than the old system . I have done a couple ( not recently -so can't remember exactly how I did it ) and it was simple .
Just follow the instructions .

I did a Greek one a few weeks back. You can use the foreign registration number, just add the country of registration in the drop down box.

Tips......

If the owner has no documents, ask him (early on) when he thinks it was built and go from there when verifying the details (for yourself). Forums, owners clubs, Google images on the ‘net can all help you in arriving at your decisions.
If you have to create a new record, enter the full VIN. If it’s an odd-ball, e.g. multi stage build, be sure you are entering the right number; there may be more than one. Do not make a mistake, the system will accept whatever you tell it. Watch out for differences in actual build versus UK requirements, lighting is a classic.
Make sure YOU will be able to ring the customer if need be.
I’ve done several U.S. spec. Porkers recently that were ‘glammed-over’ to help them sell to the non-suspecting U.K. trader. (And boy, don’t they get mardy when you knock-‘em-back for.....)

Tested a few on foreign plates. First one I had I rung the help desk and was told it's not a problem, create a new record and tell the computer where and, as best you can, when it was registered. The manual specifically states when testing foreign vehicles the number plates are not testable.

There is an app called my car checker or similar that does that

Simple answer - no. Nearside is the side near the kerb no matter where the steering wheel is fitted.

In the past we were told by the powers that it was Left hand side and Right hand side as customers didn't know Nearside and Offside
