Why Buy a Used Car from Japan?

Thanks to Japan's strict vehicle inspection and maintenance regulations Japanese cars tend to be kept in better condition than their UK equivalents. As a car ages the cost and rigour of the bi-annual Shaken - the Japanese equivalent of the British MOT - increases. This means cars are often replaced to avoid these increased costs, meaning a supply of high quality, well maintained cars. 

Often the Japanese market vehicles are a higher specification than those sold in the UK

Sandhurst Cars has partnered with agents across Japan and can source vehicles from almost every auction house in Japan meaning we can carefully pick the very best cars available. 

Vehicle History

Many worry imported vehicles come with no history and could be sold for export from Japan to escape a chequered past. Sandhurst Cars can supply a Car VX report which details the full history of the vehicle, its mileage history and any insurance claims made. We also have access to the Volkswagen and Audi main dealer electronic service history systems.
