Our Experience

The Italian second-hand car market offers excellent value. Due to high taxes on larger vehicles, you can often find premium models at attractive prices. However, buying locally can be challenging because of the language barrier and potential complexities when dealing with Italian suppliers. Our local agents are fluent in Italian, ensuring smooth transactions. We recommend using our dealer network to source the right car from Italy, Germany, or France. When you purchase through our sales and registration scheme, you're protected by UK distant sales regulations.

Why Choose My LHD Car Italy?

While the import procedure isn't overly complex, the language barrier can make it difficult and time-consuming. That's why we recommend importing an Italian or UK-registered Left-Hand Drive (LHD) car supplied by us. To learn more about our UK registration process, please visit our dedicated page here.

We encourage customers to take full advantage of our stress-free sales scheme, which includes free registration and insurance assistance. We also arrange delivery to your home address in Italy. If we don't have the right LHD car in stock, you can submit an inquiry on our website. We have access to thousands of LHD cars across the continent.

Registering a Car in Italy from an EU Country

First, you'll need to **cancel the car's registration** with the traffic control authority in its home country. You'll receive a cancellation certificate and a technical specifications form. The car can then be driven to Italy on a provisional number plate issued by the traffic control authority.

To register an imported used car, it must pass a test to ensure it **conforms to Italian technical norms**. A certificate of conformity will be awarded to vehicles that pass this test. For information concerning type-approval, contact the regional traffic control authority (Ufficio Provinciali Della Motorizzazione Civile).

When registering the vehicle, you'll need the following documents:

• Cancellation Certificate
• Technical Specifications Form
• Registration Request (Domanda Di Immatricolazione) Form TT2119
• Original and photocopy of the vehicle registration document, with a certified translation in Italian
• Original and photocopy of the roadworthiness test certificate, signed and stamped by the manufacturer or a reputable dealer, with a certified translation into Italian

It may be necessary to obtain technical specifications information from the vehicle manufacturer, which can cost several hundred euros. According to EU legislation, a used vehicle from another EU country is **not required to undergo a roadworthiness test (Collaudo)** if the validity of the final technical inspection carried out abroad can be deduced from the original document. There is also a fee for issuing a number plate.

Taxes

New vehicles imported from EU countries are subject to **VAT (IVA) at a rate of 20%**. To be considered "new," the vehicle must either have less than 6,000 km on the odometer or have been purchased within six months of registration. Vehicles with over 6,000 km on the odometer or purchased over six months prior to registration are considered "used."
