We hope you’re well!

We’ve got some important updates and reminders about importing vehicles under the Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS) this July.

🔧 Important Update: ADR 98/00

Vehicles with a build date of 03/2025 onwards are subject to ADR 98/00: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems must be fitted as standard on all newly built vehicles.

Please check with us before purchasing any cars build from 03/2025.

🚗 Exciting News for Evo Enthusiasts!

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, VIII & X have been renewed for import under SEVS! These iconic models are back on the list.

Quick tip: Clean, stock examples are becoming rare, so make sure to thoroughly inspect the underbody before buying. If you need help or advice, feel free to get in touch—we’re here to assist!

Variant details are included in our updated model list below.

🔍 Corolla Sedan now Eligible!

The Corolla Touring Wagon has been eligible for import for some time and has quickly become a popular choice for importing… Get ahead of the curve and import the Sedan variant while it is still a new option!

ZWE214 / ZWE215 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Sedan 2ZR-FXE AWD. Build range: 09/2019 – 02/2025

🔍 Toyota Yaris

The SEVs entry for the popular Toyota Vitz Hybrid NHP130 is due to expire on 10/08/2025, which means it is too late to apply for any new import approvals.

Can’t wait for it to be renewed? Why not import the newly eligible Yaris model instead:

MXPH15, MXPH17 M15A-FXE hybrid Engine, AWD E-Four.

Build Range: 02/2020 – No end date
