I used that piece of info from brasiliangringo's post as I know he has HPI access which is where I assume it will have flagged it.

On the v5c it should state in section 3 'declared new at first registration'
In section 4b the dates should be the same if it's an official UK car - if it's a parallel import from Germany it will depend if it was registered in Germany for a period of time before coming here, or was bought to be registered as new in the UK. Some imports are just vehicles sourced for forces members overseas.
I don't think it makes much difference in any case at this age - the main reason it might have an influence on value is if the spec was far short of standard UK which is doubtful on something like an A8 - more of an issue on a Golf where a UK spec car would have climate control as standard on many models, but an import might just get manual a/c or none at all.
