What to Check Before Buying a Japanese Used Car 

When buying a used or imported Japanese car, there are essential points to keep in mind before making your purchase.

  • History and Mileage: Always ask for the car's service records. A documented service history can help verify its mileage and previous maintenance.

  • Warranty and Certificate: Especially with imports, this is a good sign if the car is certified by a dealer or has a remaining warranty.

  • Condition: Check the car and all of its components. Check for signs of wear and tear and have a qualified mechanic inspect it.

  • Import Regulations: For car imports from Japan to Kenya, it is important to understand the registration requirements with relevant rules, taxes (such as import duty and VAT), and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

Maoni ya Mteja

Nissan NOTE

I like this Nissan Note because it looks practical without being too large. The body has a few signs that it is a used vehicle, which I expected, but overall the car presents well in the photo. For the price and purpose, I feel this was a good decision.

Toyota PROBOX VAN

A simple car, but this is exactly what I wanted. The Probox looks spacious and useful, especially for carrying things. The exterior is not a luxury finish and has some ordinary used-car appearance. SAT Japan handled shipping, inspection, and paperwork very well. Happy with my choice.

For me, the Probox is about practicality. It has a simple design, useful rear space and looks suitable for regular work. Thank God I chose SAT Japan. They are literally trustworthy. Highly recommended.

Daihatsu THOR

The Thor is a nice choice for everyday driving because of its compact size and practical shape. I like the dark colour and clean rear design. There are many marks on the body and the interior is in a very rough condition. Seats are also damaged.

Bought it for everyday running and so far no complaints. Fuel is reasonable, enough space in back and car feels solid. SAT Japan made the buying part easy for me. I would buy from them again.

Was a bit scared to buy online first because you never know what will arrive. But car came much better than I was expecting. It starts good, AC is working fine and the inside was quite clean. SAT Japan people answered my questions before I paid and also helped me with documents. Good experience for me.

I use this car mostly for work and it is doing the job very well. Nothing fancy, just a good practical car. Had one small scratch on the side but for used car I cannot complain. Paperwork from SAT Japan was all correct.
