Carimport has a new design. Same advisors and the same calculator, rebuilt so every cost is easier to find. The previous site is still available.

Home market of the British marques

Import a car from the UK to Malaysia

We buy dealer and classified stock direct, inspect every car in person before full payment, and itemise every cost before you commit.

Why we buy in the UK

Britain's used market is deep, right-hand drive by birth, and documented by the government from the first MOT test on.

01

The deepest pool outside Japan

Britain drives on the left, so every car is built right-hand drive for Malaysia.

7.8 million used cars changed hands in the UK in 2025, in the home market of Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin. No other market offers this much European luxury with the steering wheel already on the correct side.

02

Depreciation works for you

British luxury cars shed value fast, and the export buyer collects the difference.

A luxury car in the UK typically loses 40 to 60 percent of its value by year three, right inside Malaysia's under-five-year import window. VAT-qualifying ex-fleet and ex-lease cars can also be zero-rated on export, taking the 20 percent VAT off the price before we quote.

03

A paper trail you can check

Every UK car carries a public, government-kept history.

The MOT database records every test and every mileage reading, free for anyone to check. We add an HPI report covering finance, theft and write-offs, and your advisor reads both with you before a car makes your shortlist.

04

Inspected in person, then shipped

No car is paid in full until an advisor has stood next to it.

We fly out, inspect the car with photos and videos, and complete the purchase only once it checks out. Then it ships from Southampton to Port Klang, tracked at every stage until handover.

Not sure which route fits?

An advisor will say which one suits the car you have in mind.

Price it yourself, or ask us

The calculator is public and it does the same arithmetic your advisor does. Six fields off a listing and the landed cost for Malaysia comes back itemised, in about 30 seconds.

None of it is compulsory. If the fields look like work, an advisor runs the same calculation on any car you send and comes back with the itemised total.

  1. 01

    Pick the country

    It opens on Japan. Take the United Kingdom tab and the shipping fees, the duty basis and the exchange rate all switch with it.

  2. 02

    Copy six fields

    Maker, model and vehicle type, the price in pounds, the registration month and year. Every one of them is on the listing in front of you.

  3. 03

    Read every line

    Leave Full Breakdown ticked and sign in with your phone number. The duty, the fees and our service fee come back as separate lines, not one number.

Questions about importing from the UK

Straight answers on cost, timing, eligibility and condition.

Duty, excise and SST are the biggest lines and they depend on the car's age, engine size and value. The calculator shows the cost price for your exact car in about 30 seconds, and your quotation itemises every line.

That depends on sailing schedules and clearance, so your advisor confirms the expected window in writing before you commit. The run covers shipping from Southampton, customs clearance, AP approval, Puspakom inspection and JPJ registration, with WhatsApp updates at every milestone.

Used cars generally need to be under five years old to qualify for an AP permit. Classics have their own lane: cars over 35 years old can come in under the classic permit. Send us the model and your advisor confirms eligibility first.

A car owned only by businesses since new, such as ex-lease, ex-fleet and dealer demonstrators. These can be zero-rated for VAT on export, taking 20 percent off the purchase price. Your advisor checks the listing before we quote.

Every UK car has a government MOT history recording each test and mileage reading, and we add an HPI report covering finance, theft and write-offs. Then an advisor inspects the car in person before full payment is made.

Yes. Browse Auto Trader, PistonHeads or any UK marketplace at your own pace, send us the link, and we verify the car, inspect it in person and return the full landed cost for Malaysia.

Japan leads for Japanese makes and auction grading; the UK leads for European marques and spec variety, all built right-hand drive. Same advisor, same itemised quotation either way, so many buyers compare both.
