Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 3 SEVs · 5 MREs

This Mercedes-benz E-Class E400 213264 is approved for import to Australia under 3 SEVS approvals SEV-000674, SEV-001031 and SEV-000411, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 5 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000415, MRE-000402, MRE-000424, plus 2 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from July 2016 to Sept 2018.

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.

How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 7/2016 to 9/2018 Mercedes-benz E-Class E400 examples through our Japanese partners, with build-sheet and auction-grade verification before any bid is placed. Once won, the vehicle is shipped via roll-on/roll-off freight, cleared through Australian customs, treated under biosecurity rules, and prepared for compliance at our Sydney workshop. The Approved Vehicle Verifier inspection and RAV entry are completed in-house, and you receive the vehicle with paperwork ready for state-level registration.

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.
