Hi,

I plan to move out of UK in a couple of days and a friend of mine borrowed me their campervan to do this. The van is registered and insured in an EU country and I will be driving from France to UK to pack up and move my stuff. The gov.uk site is confusing because I'm either in a gray area or I am required to register, pay VAT, get MOT etc. I don't seem to fall into temporary imports exepmtion.
I can't stop being a resident immediately also because I'm still an employee. Should I go via a different route or am I safe?
Thanks for your advice

Does that apply to what is in effect, a "hire" car?
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.
