Estimated UK landed cost
By mileage
Each row is a group of recent auction results for this generation. “Typical” is the middle result; low and high mark the cheaper and dearer quarters, so about half of recent cars landed between them.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0k–30k miles | 2023 | 19,000 | 4.5 | £12,550 | £14,150 | £15,150 | 77 |

Worked example
What’s included in this estimate
Here is how we reach the typical figure for the most common group in recent results: a 2017 car with about 113,000 miles (90k+ miles). We work backwards from that estimate to the winning bid, then add every cost in order.

Glossary
Auction grades
Every car at a Japanese dealer auction is inspected and given an overall grade, plus a letter for the interior. Scales vary a little between auctions, so treat this as a guide. This price guide only counts cars graded 3.5 or better. A figure such as 4.25 is a middle value that falls between two grades.
The grade is a useful first filter, not the whole story — where it’s available, our export partner in Japan can also inspect the car before the auction.
- 6 or S
- As new, usually with very low mileage.
- 5
- Excellent — close to new condition.
- 4.5
- Very good, with very few marks for its age and mileage.
- 4
- Good, with light marks or wear in keeping with its age.
- 3.5
- Fair — more visible marks, small dents or wear. May need some cosmetic work.
- 3 and below
- Noticeable wear or damage. Not included in this guide.
- R or RA
- Repaired accident damage. Not included in this guide.
- Interior A to E
- A is excellent, E is poor.
