I’ve had one. Things to consider:
- You have to pay a fixed rate of road tax (£160?) no matter age, emissions or engine size.
- You’ll have to use an insurer who specialises in Japanese imports, though this isn’t an issue.
- If it’s pre-2006 it won’t be ULEZ exempt.
- Clocks will be in km and litres.
- You’ll need to fit a rear fog light. Usually you can convert one of the reversing lights with a red bulb.
Personally, I wouldn’t bother with something that you can easily get on the domestic market, unless it’s something very obscure, rare, unavailable, all the British ones rotted away, special Japanese features etc etc.
Are you looking at buying my silver Insight on eBay then? Buy it!

Would you buy a car imported from Japan? What are the issues?
