Testing Foreign Vehicles Aug 27, 2015 13:40:13 GMT 1

On previous system we were able to test a vehicle with foreign numbers. On Comp 2 it does not give the option.
Not too fussed whether we can or we can't, but the problem i have is, i purchased a car fr my wife yesterday from Belfast with NI plates. I tried to login for MOT test but comes up with vehicle not found.
I can find the car details on Autodata as well as the MOT checking service, but nothing on Comp 2!!!

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Sam.

EDIT.
Created a new vehicle record...

You'll need to create a "new vehicle record" with info off the the registration document autosafe. Any changes the vehicle afterwards e.g. registered in the UK and Registration issued is done by the DVLA.

We don't actually need the VRM to test a vehicle but not sure if that option is available yet.

On the page you enter VRM & Chassis No. you'll find a link below which says: Unable to provide a registration mark or full VIN. Clicking that will give you the options available in that situation mate....

I have a friend that did two with nothing other than the vehicle present ( Irish and Spanish vehicles ). A local Andrew Page branch were able to provide the first used date and engine size etc .
Apparently it is easier to register a foreign vehicle on the new system than it was on the old one .
