V5C facts
The V5C will not show directly if the vehicle/motorbike is an import.
All imported vehicles/motorbikes into the UK have to be inspected and given a type approval number. The test is called the SVA.
Check your V5C it should have a type approval number. This is a disguised way of informing the buyer of an import.
The V5 will also contain the VIN/chassis/frame number AND the engine number.
Hope this helps.....
