Why Japan?
Japan's strict vehicle inspection system — the Shaken — drives a constant supply of low-mileage, well-maintained cars onto the export market. These vehicles frequently come with higher specifications than UK equivalents, at prices that reflect Japan's competitive used-car market rather than inflated UK forecourt values.
Japan's Shaken System
Japan's bi-annual vehicle inspection becomes increasingly expensive as a car ages. Rather than face rising costs, owners replace their cars regularly — meaning the export market is constantly replenished with low-mileage, well-cared-for vehicles.
Higher Specification
Japanese-market cars routinely include optional extras as standard — full leather interiors, panoramic roofs, premium audio, advanced safety tech — that add thousands to the equivalent UK-spec model.
Verifiable History
We can supply a Car VX report on request: a full record of mileage history and any insurance claims. For VAG vehicles, we also have direct access to Volkswagen, Audi's, BMW and Mercedes electronic dealer service records.
VAG Specialists
We specialise in Volkswagen and Audi Group cars. Every VAG import we source is fully reverted to European specification — including satellite navigation maps, infotainment firmware, dashboard instruments, and ULEZ compliance — so your car is completely ready for UK roads from day one. Whilst our expertise is with VAG, we have access to all of Japan's auctions and can source any make and model and have contacts who can perform the required conversions
