About this collection

Space and versatility

Japan builds people carriers around the way families actually live: sliding doors for tight car parks, seven or eight seats, flat floors and seats that slide, fold and swivel.

The collection runs from compact seven-seaters such as the Sienta and Freed, through the Noah, Voxy, Serena and Step WGN, to the large, plush Alphard, Vellfire and Elgrand. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 adds four-wheel drive for muddier school runs.

Many of these models were never sold new in the UK, so importing is often the only way to get one — and the price guide shows what a typical example costs to land.

What we look for

  • Seat layout: seven or eight seats, and which rows slide or fold
  • Power sliding doors and tailgate noted as working on the sheet
  • Interior grade — family cars show wear inside first
  • Hybrid and four-wheel-drive versions, which are listed separately at auction
