For some time, there has been a noticeable gap in quality second-hand vehicles available in the UK. The polar opposite exists in Japan with legislation encouraging drivers to update their cars after three, five and seven years. It is virtually unknown for a Japanese driver to have a vehicle that is more than seven years old, so Japanese car auctions are full of great deals.

The quality of some of these vehicles is extremely high- it is almost heartbreaking to see the prices they are offered for at Japanese car auctions. Japanese drivers mostly travel short distances on congested roads so the mileage of these near-new cars is often very low.
