UK Car in Malta

I have relocated from the UK March 2024 , brought my own car to Malta and taking advantage of the exemption from registration tax . I will keep the car for the 2 years as the rules state . If I sell the car here after the 2 years will the new owner have to pay the registration Tax at that point ? , a local car dealer has told me this is the case . Stating the obvious this will devalue the car here , if the new owner has to factor in paying this Tax

I bought my car from the UK 7 years ago and the agreement聽 was to聽 qualify聽 for the exemption聽 of registration聽 tax you had to prove you had owned the car for 2 years in the UK?聽 & if you sell the car the tax is to be paid聽 unless you scrap it.
