As far as I'm aware yes, they do take them as part-ex so would probably sell them on through the dealership but not as Type uk.

Default eu imports

as a franchised subaru main dealer, i can tell you that we are not allowed to sell imports due to the operating standards of subaru uk.

What not even second hand ones? sounds like restrictive practice to me what if someone wants to trade in an EU import for a UK new one you are going to lose business

Thanks for the responses

So if you buy a car from an offical Uk subaru dealer you can be sure its a UK model ?

You cant be sure; there have been many tales here of EU cars bought from franchised dealers (usually sold as UK cars).
