Used japanese trucks in tokyo japan

Smoke: Visible tailpipe emissions aren't necessarily anything to worry about; petrol cars usually emit white smoke on start up on cold days and diesels can produce black smoke, but generally speaking this is nothing to worry about. However if you have smoke where there was none previously, there's more of it than before or the colour changes – blue smoke in particular indicates burning oil – then this indicates a potential problem.

Noise: Even the quietest of used Japanese trucks make some noise and if you've owned your car for some time, you should be familiar with how it sounds. A change in volume, pitch or a new noise altogether could mean something is wrong. Knocking or tapping from the engine could be a serious mechanical fault, clunking from the suspension could mean a safety-critical fault and a whining or grinding sound could be a wheel bearing or brake fault.

Fuel: If you use your car regularly, you probably have a good idea of how much fuel it uses depending on the journey, so a sudden increase in consumption could indicate an engine fault, or even a fuel leak.

Wobbles: The key control that links you to the import Japanese vehicle is the steering wheel, and how it feels in your hands can be a warning of trouble. If the wheel vibrates as speed increases, there could be a suspension fault or the wheel alignment could need attention. If the steering feels heavy, it could mean the tyre pressures need checking or potentially the power steering is developing a fault. These faults could be safety-critical so look at them as soon as possible.
