This black VW Sharan was imported from Japan two years ago and stands out immediately for its superb condition and unusually low mileage. Japanese vehicles are renowned for their meticulous maintenance standards and rust‑free bodies, thanks to strict inspection rules and a climate that’s far kinder to cars than the UK. Also Japanese cars—especially MPVs like the Sharan—tend to cover far fewer miles than UK equivalents.
• Japan’s geography means shorter journeys
• Public transport is excellent, so cars are used less
• Many owners have multiple vehicles, which are well maintained
All this means a cleaner engine, less wear on suspension and brakes, and a longer remaining lifespan.
Key Features
• Exceptionally Low verified mileage – far lower than typical UK examples
• Rust‑free underside – no UK road‑salt corrosion; free from the typical UK corrosion issues on subframes, arches, and exhausts
• Smooth, reliable petrol engine – avoids common diesel issues
• High‑spec Japanese model – upgraded interior, better equipment
• Fully UK‑registered and MOT’d til 26 December 2026
• Roof rails and 2 bars – Thule
• Electric sliding doors and rear tailgate; finger/touch locking doors
• Rear camera; Bluetooth; tyre pressure indicator
• ULEZ compliant
The vehicle is in excellent condition, both inside and out. The interior is clean, well cared for, and shows minimal wear. Bodywork presents very well for its age, and the car drives smoothly with no unwanted noises. A great example that has been well maintained eg I have just replaced the battery and alternator (cost £635). New MOT with 2 Advisories re brakes, which I have replaced for £409. My mechanic told me that in fact the brakes did not need replacing but I did it anyway.
If you want a spacious, reliable, and well‑looked‑after 7‑seater, this Sharan is one of the best examples available. 2 keys. But no CD player, weirdly. I can’t list all the specs but it is high. I have owned it for two years but have barely used it, hence the sale. Driven entirely (by me anyway) in the country so no stop/start town driving. Slight downside is that I have never used the Satnav (English model not Japanese) and the analogue dial is in kilometres, although the digital readout is in miles.
The VW Sharan remains one of the best all round 7 seaters on the market comfortable, spacious, and extremely reliable. The high spec/low mileage makes it especially desirable, with electric sliding doors and all the practical extras families appreciate. A genuine, well looked after car ready for its next owner. Selling as barely used and I have my daughter’s car now, so surplus to requirements. Viewings welcome. Serious enquiries only, please.
