The UK is one of the world's largest right-hand drive vehicle markets — and for buyers in Uganda, that means access to thousands of quality used cars with genuine documentation. Every UK vehicle has a publicly verifiable MOT history: a government-held record of annual roadworthiness tests, including mileage readings at every test. Mileage tampering is almost impossible to hide.
For buyers in Uganda, UK vehicles offer compelling value: lower prices per kilometre of remaining service life, far stronger documentation than parallel imports, and WMG's full landed cost quote showing the Uganda duty-inclusive total before you commit.
Import duty in Uganda is calculated on the CIF value — the combined cost of the vehicle, international shipping, and marine insurance. The rate is approximately 25%.
