1st UK Registration question.

[mv6]

Is there a time limit from the vehicle entering the UK to its 1st registration? I know that it should be done "as soon as possible",but if it is not then how long can it sit unregistered? Months,years??? Thanks,

It would appear that the vehicle came into the country in 2006,but was never registered! Has US title document and duty document. Never MOT'd.

I am about to buy it. It was not a US government vehicle. Just worried in case DVLA tell me I am "too late" for some obscure admin reason!

Getting through to the DVLA on the phone is a nightmare!!! Car is a 1994. Should pass MOT with no problems. Thanks for the help folks.

Insurance sorted and taking it for MOT tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed. Hopefully the registration forms will be off to DVLA on Monday morning in the post!

Success. Passed MOT no problem. Received the V5S from DVLA on Friday. 1st proper drive today. Love it.
