Why we stocked this car
A Golf with just 19,519 miles is a rare find. This one also comes with a strong spec. It has the 1.4 TSI with turbocharged punch, a smooth automatic gearbox, half-suede seats, dual-zone climate control, alloy wheels and parking sensors. We’ve added Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an HD reverse camera, so you get modern tech in a car that’s barely been used. Like most Japanese imports, it’s reliable and rust-free thanks to Japan’s drier climate and the way cars are looked after over there.
What you should know about Japanese imports
Imports are usually flagged on listings but rarely explained - here's the honest picture so you can buy with confidence.
Lower mileage
Cars in Japan are typically driven far less, so imports often have genuinely lower mileage than UK cars of the same age. On our cars, this is verified against the official export certificate.
Rust-free
Japan uses far less road salt and has a drier climate, so imports avoid the underbody rust common on older UK cars.
Well maintained
Japan has a strong culture of caring for cars, and a strict inspection system (shaken) keeps them in genuinely good condition.
Same spec, insures the same
The models we stock are standard cars - mechanically and structurally identical to their UK versions - so they insure and service exactly like the UK equivalent.
Things to be aware of
- A freshly imported car has just one UK MOT so far - completely normal, as it's only just arrived.
- The original service and ownership documents are Japanese. We're happy to talk you through them.
- We'd always encourage you to come and inspect the car in person - you're welcome to bring someone who knows cars.
Service history
As a Japanese import, the car comes with its export certificate showing its mileage history and records from Japan. (See the "What you should know about Japanese imports" section below for more on how import history works.)
Ideal for
Anyone who wants a quality hatchback that’s barely been driven, whether that’s a first car or a step up from something smaller. The automatic gearbox makes it easy in town and comfortable on the motorway, and with CarPlay and a reverse camera it’s as easy to live with as a much newer car.
