Re-registering ex UK MH back on UK Register

[nicholsong]

Has anyone on here got experience of

Exporting a UK-registered MH.

Registering it in another country

Subsequently returning it to UK and re-registering it back with DVLA.



How easy was it? Did DVLA need any documentation that they did not have previously?

How does one get MOT and Insurance till the vehicle is re-registered with DVLA?

How long did it take?

Thanks in advance.

Insure using VIN number, some insurers will insure but not all.
Won't be on the UK database so MOT won't be official.
The MOT tester can't log the van into the system as it doesn't yet have a registration number

So is an MOT needed to re-register? If yes, sounds like Catch 22.

Well it has the original UK registration just like if it had been SORNed

Have you done it? As I asked for experience of the process.
