1. Myth: The cars have high mileage due to Japan’s dense population and road usage.
Reality:?Japanese vehicles typically have lower mileage compared to UK cars. This is because:
• Japan has excellent public transportation, so cars are often used sparingly.
• Stricter vehicle inspections (like Japan’s Shaken system) incentivize owners to replace cars more frequently.
2. Myth: Imported European cars are poorly maintained.
Reality:?Japanese owners often take better care of their vehicles due to strict maintenance regulations and cultural habits.
