What do I need for a car from the North other than MOT history?

Hi,

I bought a car in Northern Ireland that has been in the North from 2019, and I am getting the MOT history to prove that. What else do I need?

Hi John,

The MOT history should be enough to show that the car was used in the North for a reasonable amount of time, but obtain as much other documentation as possible to support your case, such as service history, V5C logbook details, etc. 

If in any doubt, discuss your situation with Revenue directly.
