Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

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

This Nissan NV200 Lifecare M20 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000799, granted on the Mobility Criterion and valid until 05 Mar 2028. The approval is linked to MRE-000072 (Category MA, issued by SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD) Approvals cover builds from May 2009 to Feb 2025.

Why qualified — Mobility Criterion. The SEVS Mobility Criterion applies to vehicles designed, factory-built, or appropriately modified (including by approved post-manufacture providers) to accommodate users with reduced mobility — for example wheelchair access, hand controls or transfer seats. Eligibility is build-specific and granted on the basis of the documented features on the approval.

How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 5/2009 to 2/2025 Nissan NV200 Lifecare 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.
