Dear Customer,

Importing cars, particularly from Japan, can be fraught with challenges and risks. One of the most prevalent issues is mileage tampering. It’s not uncommon for vehicles destined for the UK to have their mileage ‘clocked’ or significantly reduced, making them appear more attractive to potential buyers. A vehicle that has covered over 250,000 km can still appear in good condition and have its mileage reduced to just a quarter of its actual distance travelled.

At japancarimport.co.uk, we are acutely aware of these risks and have implemented stringent measures to protect our customers. We ensure comprehensive documentation of each vehicle before it even boards the vessel for the UK. This rigorous process allows us to verify the authenticity of the vehicle and its mileage, offering you peace of mind.

Please be aware that authorities such as the DVLA and HMRC are actively targeting dubious imports. They can request documentation even after you’ve sold the vehicle, potentially placing you in a challenging situation if the necessary paperwork is not readily available.

We strongly advise caution when considering new companies offering Japanese imports. Not all adhere to the strict standards we maintain at japancarimport.co.uk.

Trust in our services for all your import needs and be assured of being in safe hands. We are committed to providing a transparent and reliable service that prioritises your needs and safety.

Thank you for choosing japancarimport.co.uk. We look forward to serving you.

Best Regards, The Team at japancarimport.co.uk
