Do I qualify as a "personal import" or not ?

I live in Trinidad & drive a Honda Fit which was imported from Japan as
a used car. I am returning to live in the UK in February and would like
to bring my car with me, but I am not sure whether I will have to pay
duty ? I have had the car for more than 6 months, but I will only have
been living in Trinidad for 10 months by the time I leave, not a full
year. Does this mean I will have to pay duty on the car ? Any advice
would be gratefully received

Hi from a Trini.

I expect you will have to pay something as no EEC tax has been paid.
Contact the UK customs and they should give you a quick reply.
