    Even if:

    • someone has managed to bring a vehicle into a European country despite being illegal

    • or if he has even managed to get papers from a EU country, so that he can bring it to all EU countries

    …then the police can still pull illegal vehicles off the road.

    The driver can walk home.

        They aren’t illegal when they get type approval

        That’s too much of a generalisation.

        For example, around here the young drivers love to attach some extra aftermarket parts on their cars. And these things have papers, too. Still the police decides sometimes to pull one out.

        The police can decide on their own what they think is dangerous. Of course in a case of a type approval they would usually not doubt at all that things are OK.
