Every MOT since import has recorded the kilometre figure as miles, so the UK history overstates the mileage by about 60%.

What we found

3 findings, most serious first

  1. Check

    Kilometres probably recorded as miles

    The first UK MOT recorded 72,610 miles, almost the same number as the 72,400 km in Japan on 2021-09-14. The car's real mileage is more likely about 45,118 miles: the dial probably still reads km and the tester wrote it down as miles. The 4 later MOTs carry on from that figure, so they probably overstate the mileage too.

Before you buy

Questions to ask the seller

  • Do you have paperwork for any speedometer conversion or instrument cluster replacement?
  • 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

  • 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.
