Imported A1

[Ash.s]

Hi all!!! 

 

New here and first time Audi owner. I recently brought an imported A1 2014 plate, firstly I love it! but i've been having a few teething issues with the DVLA and the V5 etc. 

So as I said it's a A1 ,2014 plate, TFSI, automatic, the long book has finally been submitted and i've already noticed an issue with how many doors it has been registered as having, thats fine, I can sort that. But i've got no idea if its had the correct emissions recorded. Im not sure how I go about making sure it has the right info recorded or what it should have recorded as I have limited paperwork for it as the dealer said he sent it all off the DVLA for the car to be registered. 

 

It's cost me £231 to tax for 12 months, does that sound right for those with similar vehicle? 

 

I ask this not only to make sure everything has been recorded correctly but also so i'm paying the right amount for my residents permit as this is based on emissions and if its been recorded as a higher band then not only am i paying the wrong tax but the wrong bracket for my residents permit too.

 

It's a whole saga. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

thanks all!

Where has it been important from? 

You might be able to get a certificate of conformity from VAG for it which will state the emissions.

sorry that would have helped!!!!

 

Its come in from Japan. 

First got registered in the UK in FEB25, frst registered in Japan in March 2014.

so im looking around and it's saying due to the car being over 10 years old it wouldn't necessarily have come with a COC, but i'm just trying to fond out a little more as if this was supplied it may have negated any of the issues im now having and trying to correct ! 

 

Got no idea how i go abut getting one though.

For the email you need to have the v5 in your name and address. 

This is the email I sent which I've done for you as a template:
