This Nissan Serena HC27 is approved for import to Australia under 4 SEVS approvals including SEV-000975, SEV-000974, SEV-000802, plus 1 more on the Rover register, granted on multiple criteria including Environmental Criterion and Mobility Criterion, supported by 4 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000668, MRE-000209, MRE-000434, plus 1 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SHUI MIR PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from May 2005 to Oct 2022.
Why qualified — Environmental Criterion. The SEVS Environmental Criterion covers vehicles with a measurable emissions or fuel-economy advantage over equivalent vehicles supplied in volume to the Australian market. Approval is granted on the basis of the published environmental thresholds. Eligibility is build-specific — the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
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.
Why qualified — Campervans and Motorhomes Criterion. Approvals under the SEVS Campervans and Motorhomes Criterion cover vehicles designed, factory-built, or converted as campervans, motorhomes or compatible body configurations. Eligibility is tied to the body configuration and the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval.
How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 7/2016 to 10/2021 Nissan Serena 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.
All timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on auction availability, VIA approval, shipping, and compliance.
Carbarn narrows down candidate vehicles by model, year range, budget, auction grade, mileage, and condition, then arranges a pre-bid physical inspection where the auction format allows.
Vehicle is secured in Japan after the approved bid succeeds.
The VIA application is submitted to the Department of Infrastructure before any vessel is booked.
