About Darwen Motor Company
About

Imported from Japan. Prepared in Darwen.

We import premium cars direct from Japan to our showroom in Darwen, Lancashire. Every vehicle is hand-picked at Japanese auction — Grade 4 and above — by our own team on the ground, so someone we trust has seen the car long before it reaches you. It's why our stock arrives the way it does: low mileage, careful ownership, and the maintenance standards Japanese vehicles are known for.

Buying an import shouldn't mean taking anything on trust. The Darwen Assurance covers every car we supply. We authenticate the mileage and vehicle history, handle the full UK specification conversion including speedometer, MOT and DVLA registration, then carry out a multi-point inspection and a full service before handover. Every car is detailed to what we call Executive Standard and comes with six months' parts and labour warranty, covered nationwide. We're a BIMTA verified member, so the documentation behind your car can be checked independently.

Auto Trader named us Highly Rated 2026 for customer service — an award earned from what our customers wrote, not from anything we've said about ourselves. Found something you like before it lands? Reserve it with a 10% deposit and pay the balance on collection. Part exchange is welcome, finance can be arranged, and we're open seven days a week by appointment. Come and see us at Premier Mill, or call and we'll talk you through exactly where your car came from and everything that's been done to it.

Our Reviews

I recently bought a 2016 Audi A6 Allroad Japanese import from Darwen, and like anyone buying a second-hand vehicle, I naturally had a few reservations at first. The car itself is immaculate, excellent value for money, and very high spec (even better than expected) for a really decent price. You can tell it has been well looked after. We did have a couple of issues after purchase, but to be fair, all cars can have issues at some point, and these were not Darwen’s fault. For me, what really matters is how the seller responds when something does come up, and their response was the best I could have hoped for. Addas was excellent throughout: great communication, polite, helpful, and nothing was ever too much trouble. That level of customer service gave me real confidence and made the whole experience a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Darwen and already have done to friends. Highly recommended. J. Lewis from South Wales.

I recently bought a Toyota Vellfire, a Japanese import, from Darwen Motor Company, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The buying process was smooth, transparent, and customer-focused. Clear communication, no pushy sales tactics, and prompt responses to all questions. Finance and paperwork were handled efficiently, with plenty of options to suit my needs. The vehicle itself is a head-turner everywhere I go. Striking design and presence on the road; people consistently notice it. Comfortable, well-appointed interior with thoughtful features that make daily driving a pleasure. Smooth performance and impressive build quality for a car of its class. Import quality and condition The Toyota Vellfire arrived in excellent condition, with a meticulous pre-delivery inspection. All import documentation was complete and easy to verify. No hidden issues or surprises; everything felt right from day one. Aftercare and service So far , Post-purchase support has been excellent, with quick help for initial setup needs. Honest recommendations for maintenance and care, not just upsell pressure. Access to reliable service centers and genuine parts has been straightforward. Overall impression Darwen Motor Company delivers a standout buying experience for Japanese imports. The Vellfire has exceeded expectations in terms of style, comfort, and reliability. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a premium, attention-grabbing vehicle with confident import sourcing.
