Japanese-market Pajeros are the affordable end of 25-year four-wheel-drive importing. Second-generation cars turn up at auction consistently and in numbers, with diesel drivetrains and equipment levels Australia did not always get.
They are also among the most rust-prone vehicles on this list. A second-generation Pajero that looks clean in photographs can be structurally poor underneath, which makes the pre-bid inspection the difference between a bargain and a write-off.
First and second generation are in range, as are the earliest third-generation builds.
A model appearing here does not make a specific car eligible — the same model can include eligible and ineligible builds. Carbarn confirms the exact vehicle's verified build date and import pathway before any bid proceeds, and registration remains subject to your state or territory's requirements.
The generation that appears most at auction. Super Select four-wheel drive on higher grades, with 4M40 and 4D56 diesels and petrol V6 options. Short and long wheelbase bodies, plus high-roof wagons.
Monocoque construction and independent rear suspension — a much more road-oriented vehicle. Only the earliest builds are currently in range.
Leaf-sprung, simple and now genuinely rare in good condition. Worth seeking out if originality matters more than comfort.
The defining issue on this model. Second-generation Pajeros corrode in the rear quarters above the bumper, along the sills, around the rear suspension mounts and on the chassis itself. Much of it is invisible until you look underneath.
The 4M40 and 4D56 diesels have interval-based timing belt service, and a neglected belt is expensive. Head gasket history and signs of overheating matter just as much.
The Super Select system is excellent when maintained and awkward when not. We check that the modes engage and look for leaks or damage around the transfer case.
Many of these vehicles towed or worked hard. Transmission fluid condition and shift quality are worth knowing about, and are reported alongside the photos.
A sound underbody outranks everything else here. Diesel Super Select wagons in good structural condition sit at the top, and cheap vehicles with corroded rails should be avoided regardless of how well they present. Landed costs are among the lowest in the pilot.
After your deposit, our Japan-side team inspects the car in Japan and Noman sends the real photos to your WhatsApp — before any bid is placed. You see the underbody, the hidden repairs, the real condition. You decide: bid or skip. Around that, we filter every vehicle for Australian import eligibility and show landed, complied pricing in AUD. You confirm. Then we bid.
Auction photos are taken to sell the car. Our Japan-side team photographs what they never show: underbody, rust, hidden repairs, interior condition. Don't like what we find? Skip — your deposit is refunded, or moves to your next car.

Auction photos and auction grades are useful, but they do not always show every defect. After your deposit, our Japan-side team inspects the car at the auction house and sends real photos — underbody, paint, interior — before any final bid is submitted.

This page is designed for buyers who want to bid on vehicles in Japan auctions and bring them to Australia. Carbarn does not show every auction vehicle from Japan. The feed is filtered so customers see vehicles that match Australian import eligibility rules or need only limited confirmation before proceeding.
Not every Japanese auction car can be imported to Australia. Model code, build month, vehicle type, pathway and compliance rules matter before a bid is placed. Carbarn's system is designed to filter vehicles against Australian import eligibility before they are shown to customers.
A deposit is required before Carbarn proceeds with a bid instruction. If the customer does not win the auction, the deposit can be made available for another auction vehicle or refunded according to Carbarn's process.
After reviewing the vehicle and cost breakdown, the customer can place a bid deposit to secure the next step. Carbarn then checks the final vehicle details, auction sheet, import eligibility and available inspection/photo findings before final bid submission. If the vehicle should not proceed, the deposit can be moved to another suitable auction vehicle or refunded according to Carbarn policy and payment method rules.
