Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 1 SEV · 1 MRE

This Mercedes-benz CLA-Class 35 AMG 118651 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-001075, granted on the Performance Criterion and valid until 26 June 2029. The approval is linked to MRE-000988 (Category MA, issued by SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD) Approvals cover builds from Jan 2019 to Dec 2025.

Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.

Please note: This explainer is general information only. Eligibility for import under SEVS is determined exclusively by the published approval on the Rover register and the Road Vehicle Standards Rules 2019. Carbarn cross-checks the exact build year, variant and model code against the published approval before bidding — confirming the published approval is the binding source.
