Frequently Asked Questions

What does "JDM" mean on Madlows?

JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market and is widely used in the UK car scene to describe Japanese-made vehicles — particularly those popular in the modified car community, such as Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Mitsubishi models. On Madlows, you'll find both standard UK-spec and imported Japanese cars listed by private sellers and dealers.

Are these cars UK-based?

Yes — all listings on Madlows are from UK-based sellers. Cars may be UK-spec models or legally imported vehicles registered for road use in the UK. Each listing will include full details from the seller, so you can ask any questions before committing.

How do modifications affect insurance and MOT?

Any modifications to a vehicle must be declared to your insurer — failing to do so can invalidate your policy. For MOT purposes, modifications are generally acceptable as long as the car meets the required safety and emissions standards. We always recommend checking with a specialist insurer and a qualified MOT tester if you're unsure.

Can I list an imported Japanese car?

Absolutely. As long as the vehicle is registered and road-legal in the UK, you can list it on Madlows. Make sure your listing clearly states that it's an import and includes all relevant details such as mileage (converted to miles), registration history, and any modifications.

How do featured listings work?

Featured listings appear at the top of search results and category pages, giving your car more visibility to serious buyers. When you create a listing on Madlows, you'll have the option to upgrade to a Featured listing during checkout. Featured status lasts for 30 days.
