I'm translating a small ad for a Dane who is looking to sell their car in the UK and I am struggling with the term "nysynet".
I would like your ideas on whether I should localise it for the UK market to something like "Full MOT", or whether I should stick closer to the Danish with "Recently inspected" or something along those lines.
Any ideas warmly received as always.
Happy Sunday!

seems an adequate localisation taking both time (ny-) and activity (synet) into account.

In view of Gitte's comment you might use 'recent certificate for technical vehicle inspection availale' (equivalent to MOT).. this would be a bit long for a small advert. The main thing is to signal that the car is in a fit and legal condition for the roads.

Following Asker's comment, maybe simply: recent legal technical inspection.

Note from asker:
| Yes, it is a very short advert of just a few words (if you can imagine an ad in Autotrader) so I need to keep it as concise as possible. I guess we have to remember is that even if the car meets all Danish standards, if it is sold to a UK buyer and brought to the UK, it will need to be MOT'd anyway, so perhaps mentioning 'MOT' at all might be misleading? |
