What to know
Ask for the import and inspection documents and compare them with the car. Used imports must meet the KEBS age limit, so the first registration year matters.
What to check
- The pre-export inspection certificate and customs documents.
- The year of first registration against the age limit in force when it was imported.
- Odometer reading against any auction or inspection records you can get.
- Whether the car has been registered in Kenya yet, and who will do it.
Common questions
- What does foreign used mean in Kenya?
- It means a used car imported from another country and being sold in Kenya, as opposed to one that has already been used here.
- Are foreign used cars better than locally used cars?
- Not automatically. They may have seen better roads, but their history can be harder to confirm. Judge each car on its inspection and documents.
