It took off, though, with the creation of the UK’s low-emission zones in city centres. Gradually, a few used cars began to trickle back to the UK.
The origins of the trade go back to 2008, when Japan’s and Europe’s type approval regulations became more closely aligned and European car makers began exporting their vehicles to Japan with features such as rear fog lights and headlight washers. The remaining 70% were Japanese cars: hybrids, MPVs, SUVs and some performance cars. Around 30% of them were European models, the majority Volksawgens but also BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Volvos and Minis. In the first three months of this year, the UK imported almost 5000 used cars from Japan. However, they must have Japanese type approval. Most are petrol automatics and older than 10 years because Japan imports of this age are not required to be tested under the UK’s complex Individual Vehicle Approval scheme.
