Hello, we’re planning to move to Spain this year and want to bring a couple of vehicles; can anyone advise what the import rules are now as these will be UK registered?
I think prior to the UK leaving the EU you could import as long as they were owned for at least 6 months without VAT and Duty (as long as paid previously) but can’t find much detail online.
Thanks
Terry

Hi Terry previous to Brexit you could take the vehicle there and it had to be re-regestered in side 6 months and there was import tax payable at the Spanish valuation of what the vehicle was worth . Spanish secondhand vehicles are priced higher than the UK .
The reality is you de-value the vehicle by re-registering it and right hand vehicles are valued less than their equal left hander . If your keeping the vehicle until it's fit to scrap it's worth doing.
