What your Navigator needs for UK roads

The build date, specification and any modifications matter. Send us the details before you buy so we can confirm the work for your vehicle.

Read the approval guide

Approval
IVA for newer cars, MOT for older ones, done on site
Lighting
Headlights, indicators, rear fog lamp and side repeaters, as the car needs
Older vehicles
Age-related exemptions depend on the individual vehicle. Check your vehicle's year before relying on an exemption.

What to check before you buy

  • The title and the build date

    DVLA wants the original US registration certificate to show when the car was made, and keeps it. The 10-year and 40-year tests run on the individual car, so take the build date from the title rather than the advert.

  • A clean title

    We import clean-title vehicles only. A salvage or rebuilt brand on the title is a reason to walk away.

  • Lighting

    The usual US work is headlights that dip the right way for UK roads, amber indicators, a rear fog lamp and side repeaters. Newer cars cost more to convert than older ones.

  • London and the ULEZ

    The ULEZ is judged on declared emissions, and a US import often has no Euro standard on its V5C. Vehicles built before 1 January 1973 are exempt, so the build date matters here too.

Send us the listing before you commit. The title, condition and specification help us give you a useful quote.

Common questions

What details should I include for a Navigator L?

State that it is the long-wheelbase version and send the listing and title details. We quote for the exact vehicle and confirm the approval route from its build date.

Can a left-hand-drive Navigator be registered here?

Yes. Left-hand drive is legal to register in the UK. The vehicle still needs the applicable approval, lighting work and registration paperwork.

What work might a US Navigator need?

The usual checks cover headlights suitable for UK roads, amber indicators, a rear fog lamp and side repeaters. We confirm what is needed for the actual vehicle.
