Bringing a car back to England from Northern Ireland

[slippery]

Hi, I am looking at a car for sale in Northern Ireland. What do I need to know regards bringing it back and registering it here? Would really appreciate info from anyone that has done this. It is a private sale.

can't see there being much of a problem as N Ireland is part of the UK

So HPI procedures would be as normal and the V5 would be the same then I take it? What about road tax?

Just the same - send the V5C(NI) to Swansea and they'll lose it just like every other standard V5C document.

the DVLA are quite the magicians. my car has two V5s.... one on my private plate and one on the normal plate. they are both valid! crazy.
