Importing a used car to Cyprus
Cyprus has no car manufacturing, so every car on the island is imported at some point. Buying directly from abroad can give you a better car for the money — or cost more once shipping, taxes and registration are added. The only way to know is to compare the full landed cost with local prices.
What changes by origin country
- United Kingdom: right-hand drive like Cyprus, with online MOT history. Check for road-salt corrosion and mileage gaps between MOT tests.
- Japan: auction-graded cars with recorded mileage. The auction sheet shows grade and repairs, but it is written in Japanese.
- Bulgaria and the EU: often the route for UK cars. The registration trail and who paid VAT matter for the final cost.
- China: electric and hybrid cars, often priced well below local equivalents. Battery health, warranty and local servicing need checking.
