i dont know if this helps but:
in all EU member states (besides UK) the emmission standards are linked to the registration date.
thats why "newer" uk-kitcars cannot be imported anymore to other EU member states, as most cars do not even have a cat fitted.
this said, if you are a british-resident which has moved to spain or anywhere else inside the EU...you often can get away with an examption for the
emmissions as you can delcare the car as removal-goods.....in some member states this is possible, but its linked to the fact that you cannot sell the
car within the next 1 or 2 years ( to avoid that "dealers" use this loophole in the law to do profit).
unfortunately, in most countries the authorities wont tell you that option....you need to ask them or find the dedicated articlae of law and show
them.
also you need to consider that a 2017 car has to fullfill the EURO6 emmission standars. this standard is also linked to several other things...like
OBD connection, noise, EMC and so on....
sell the v5c back to uk and find one with an "older" reg-date.....not really legal, but much easier....
or sell the car back to UK and buy a car which is compliant with the EU reg / emmission laws....at the end of the day maybe a cheaper option
