For awareness for others, the information we have is that VW UK strictly enforce a maximum period of 14 days between arrival at the UK port of entry and registration and hand over to the customer. If not, the dealer must register it themselves, and run for a 6 month period.. We asked for ours to be delayed 3 weeks to get to the next registration year number, but it was a big NO in return. I believe the same is true for cars in the UK. From other posts, VW dealers in Europe don’t necessarily have the same handcuffs on them.We would have preferred to have delayed until spring 2023 but VW have recently stipulated when it arrives it must be collected so it is what it is and we can enjoy straight away - I even checked with VW customer service and its correct so out of dealer's hands.
Similar story to ours and Ive found out its a £5000 fine for them...a 23 plate would have been nice but it is what it is and Ive just decided to enjoy the van...lifes too shortFor awareness for others, the information we have is that VW UK strictly enforce a maximum period of 14 days between arrival at the UK port of entry and registration and hand over to the customer.

Glad it’s all worked for you though.
no handcuffs here in Belgium apparently. my dealer seemed fine with me picking mine up at any point until the agreed date in may, even though it will probably arrive in january.For awareness for others, the information we have is that VW UK strictly enforce a maximum period of 14 days between arrival at the UK port of entry and registration and hand over to the customer.

You can cheer yourselves up with lower insurance premiums and MUCH cheaper extended factory warranties. I know what I would prefer.That’s what I’ve heard about VW EU dealers - not so smiley happy people here !
