I've told him all this and asked him if he knew it was predominantly in KM and MOT fail prior to purchase and that service history was into in Uk, also informed him of the need to tell prospective buyers beforehand.

He just emailed me back with "thanks"

Rip off merchant, 11k profit, whit an arse

He just emailed me back with "thanks"? Nice.

They have to inform any potential buyers it's technically an import by law?

Seriously, deaf ears.

I sincerely hope, that at £35K someone does their due diligence on this if interested, becomes a member here beforehand and finds this thread...

In that case, if this has a fresh MOT in the UK by anyone then it has to be void . I was under the impression that for a vehicle to have Type Approval and conform to the Construction & Use Regulations here in the UK that the speedometer was not allowed to display speeds in KMH only - it must display MPH. If both MPH & KMPH is displayed then MPH must be more prominent...

As far as the mot goes its not a reason for failure if its displayed in KMH

It doesn't make sense but neither do a lot of the mot requirements !!

I stand corrected. Either way, I would bug the sh*it out of me...

[bluenosewrx]

I'll try and post the photo he sent of the dial, it's all in km, can't see where speed limit is etc

DIS different colour, or that just me??

Very different. Surely that's not a 'Audi Exclusive' DIS.

Should be red on black as we all know it...

[AdrianD]

That DIS is gonna be quite distracting when driving at night..

well someone is telling porkys coz a audi dealer told me its a straight fail with kmh on clock with new mot rules? would be interesting if someone could drag the official mot rules out on this matter.

infact i just thought i got a friend who works for VOSA think i will have a chat with him after me holidays and see what he says?

[HYFR]

i'd put my money on the audi dealer talking out of his arse

[neilparf]

I agree about the audi dealer, but equally I'm not wagering my children on it not having to be MPH... I have an inclining it had to be an appropriate rating for the market...

[neilparf]

On reflection, that DIS is pants - it's just not 'RS'...

[MikeFish]

White car, white seats, white trim, white DIS. Boom!
