Before you buy
Questions to ask the seller
- Has the repeated MOT advisory been fixed, and do you have the invoice?
- 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?
- Rust in the sills, rear arches and around the rear screen: has this been checked?
- RB26 oil pump drive collar wear on high-mileage or high-rev engines: has this been checked?
- ATTESA four-wheel-drive pump and pipe leaks: has this been checked?
- Worn or modified suspension and bushes after decades of use: has this been checked?
Honest limits
What this check couldn’t cover
- Japanese recalls: our index of Japan's official recall filings is not built yet. Ask a dealer for the brand to check the chassis number.
- Accident, insurance and taxi or rental history in Japan.
- Whether documents the seller shows you are genuine.
