Post by pross »

Hi guys, about to move back to Devon and bringing my bike with me of course.
Its currently taxed and registered here in Ireland, does anyone have and insights on how to get it changed over to UK reg?
Do I need to get the MOT first?
Do you need a UK logbook to get the MOT?

Think you need to fill out a V55/5. first registration for a imported used vehicle. probably best to do that before MOTing it I would of thought.

Get an MOT first then. I expect when you send all the paperwork off or go to your local office it'll be altered or re printed anyway.
