How We Get Japanese-Imported Cars Ready For UK Roads

There are some key differences between Japanese-imported cars and British-made cars, so how do we get our imports ready for UK roads? Each pre-owned car that we sell at Four Crosses Garage goes through a rigorous testing and inspection process, and this guide will show you exactly what our mechanics do to get each car ready for the forecourt.

MOT and Servicing

In line with UK automotive laws, our imported Japanese cars undergo a complete MOT and servicing as standard.

We are an approved MOT centre in Shrewsbury, so our mechanics conduct a thorough MOT to ensure each car we sell is roadworthy. Any necessary repairs are made prior to sale, and we ensure each car is in fantastic condition.

Although servicing isn’t a legal requirement, we still put our imported cars for sale through an extensive service to get them ready for sale.

Speedometer Conversion

We convert the speed garage to MPH so the cars are safe and legal to drive on UK roads. Japan operate under KPH, so this is an important alteration we make before the car can go up for sale.

Technology Updates

Each car that comes to us from Japan has some great technology updates to give you the best driving experience possible. We add:

• A UK-spec audio system
• Sat Nav
• Reverse camera
• Bluetooth hands-free phone capabilities

These are great updates that improve the driving experience of the car and add to its value.

60-Point PDI Inspection

A Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is the final check carried out by us before we hand the car over to you. This includes 60 different checkpoints covering all aspects of the car to give you peace of mind it’s in great condition.

What About UK Insurers?

All UK insurers are happy to insure Japanese-imported cars, so you don’t have to worry about finding insurance. Our cars are of great quality, so you’ll find it easy to get a policy.

We run thorough HPI checks to ensure the imported cars we sell are not stolen, have never been involved in car accidents, and haven’t been damaged repaired. So you can be sure your car is totally safe.
