What Import marker means for you
An import marker means the car was brought into the UK from abroad, so its earlier history may sit outside UK records. Check the V5C's keeper name and address match the seller's ID, and that the VIN matches the windscreen, door pillar and logbook. Ask for proof of when and how it was imported and first registered here.
A Full Check (£9.99) shows whether a car is marked as imported, alongside finance, write-off and keeper history. The free check shows MOT history and mileage, so compare those dates with the import paperwork before you buy.
