Is this a RHD car initially registered in the UK? Or LHD Spanish registered from new?

You also need to complete the NOVA procedure within 14 days of the car landing, this applies even if it was originally a UK car.

I brought my RHD car back to the UK, it was UK registered in December 2016, I registered it in Spain in November 2019, brought it back January 2022. It had altered lights in Spain.
When checked at the MOT station there was no difference with the lights.
So I filled in the paperwork and sent copies of all the Spanish paperwork to HMRC, Belfast, I sent it by email. 10 days later I got a letter saying I had to pay road fund and have a mot and then insure it, they sent the registration number, I sent the letter by email to the DVLA and paid the registration fee of the first year Road tax, I think it was £165.00, that was also including the registration fee, I booked it in for a MOT, it passed and it was recorded £50.00. I insured it £345.00. Done dusted in 16 days. I for my peace of mind also had it serviced that cost me £280.00.
2litre Auto, BMW 420D. Convertible. Note I was advised if I had booked a MOT I could drive it to the MOT station without any penalty as long as I could prove my booking, plates cost me £22.50. I insured it under its new Reg before driving to the MOT. 4 weeks later the V5C arrived.
