Popular Destinations & Compliance
- United States: Under the 25-year rule (by build date), most L300 and early L400 units qualify for import without FMVSS compliance. Newer D:5 models are too recent for this exemption. We confirm HS-7/EPA routes per VIN.
- United Kingdom: NOVA + IVA/MOT as applicable. Delicas are popular in the UK; we supply certified translations and registration guidance.
- Australia: RVS/SEVs and ADR compliance vary by year/spec; quarantine cleaning required. We coordinate all approvals and port logistics.

Buying Tips (Delica-specific)
- 4WD system: Check selector operation, transfer case remarks, differential notes, and warning lights in the sheet.
- Undercarriage & rust: Inspect chassis rails, sills, and floors—older L300/Space Gears may show corrosion, especially coastal units.
- Seating & configuration: Verify actual seat count, belts, and headrests; check folding/sliding operation for camper use.
- Sliding doors & electrics: Confirm door motors, window tracks, central locking, and HVAC function.
- Camper potential: Choose high-roof or clean interior units; avoid R-grade structural damage in key areas.
- Service history: Note coolant, AT, and diff-fluid remarks; for diesels, check glow-plug or smoke comments on the sheet.
