Really important to be able to prove the KM reading I would suggest, as otherwise when you come to sell it will be a bit of a minefield to prove the true mileage. Mine was imported with such low mileage I have just always treated it as being in miles, even though some will have been in KM. I'm the second UK owner and it had 23k miles when I bought it... now c86k miles, so a slightly different bias.
Check it's been properly converted too, i.e. now reads in MPH and records in miles!
If the car has been remapped in Japan I would want the dealer to have it mapped for UK fuel as whilst there is tolerance in the standard map, if it's been mapped to a higher RON fuel (102) it may not have tolerance for 99 RON on the bespoke tune. If you're going to tinker and have a remap anyway this may not be such a concern.
Other than that, it looks clean in the photos, so get it bought!
As to insurance, Gary will be able to sort that out for you. My current policy costs about the same as Mrs Stig's UK WRX Wagon (both have only minor mods). Certainly no JDM premium.
