What we found

2 findings, most serious first

  1. Check

    Japanese recall SAMPLE-1: body, doors and glass

    This chassis number is inside the range of a recall filed in Japan on 2019-06-14 for DBA-AGH30W built between 2015-01 and 2017-11. Illustrative sample filing, not a real recall. Due to an inadequate control program, the power sliding door may not close fully. In the worst case, the door may open while driving. Japan's records don't say whether the work was done before export. Ask the seller for proof, or ask a dealer for the brand to check the chassis number. The range can include cars that were not affected.

Before you buy

Questions to ask the seller

  • Was the Japanese recall SAMPLE-1 (filed 2019-06-14) carried out, and is there a record of it?
  • Can I see the export certificate and the original Japanese auction sheet?
  • What has been changed or modified since the car arrived in the UK?
  • Power sliding door and tailgate motor faults: has this been checked?
  • Japanese-market radio and sat-nav need a band expander or replacement in the UK: has this been checked?
  • Check every seat motor and the rear air conditioning: has this been checked?

Honest limits

What this check couldn’t cover
