If it's a normal van, IE not caravan or campervan and it's RHD it can't be registered in Spain.

Speak to Car Registrations Spain. They will guide you through everything and tell you if your vehicle can or cannot be imported.

Is this registered as a campervan/motorhome or a commercial vehicle?

Dazz is right. A commercial RHD van cannot be registered in the EU, the same as a LHD van cannot be registered in UK or Ireland. To do with the lack of visibility. Campervans do not come under the category of commercial.

Commercial Mercedes van.

Thank you all.

Makes the decision easy.

It’s only 18 mts old and will sell here easily.

Will buy new in Spain.

A couple of websites that may give you some helpful information are:

Citizens Advice Bureau Spain, for bureaucratic stuff, and

N332 for anything to do with driving in Spain.   Their sites are for Englishs speaking people and are run in conjunction with officers of the Guardia Civil.   The website also has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.
