Overview of the Mercedes-AMG G63
This is a genuinely fresh Mercedes-AMG G63, chassis code 465250C, registered for the 2026 model year and showing only 1,000 kilometres, approximately 621 miles, on the clock. Finished in black over an interior graded A, the car has passed through USS Tokyo carrying an overall auction grade of S with an exterior grade of S, the highest condition bands the Japanese auction system applies to a vehicle. In practical terms this means the car presents as essentially new, having covered a delivery mileage distance rather than any meaningful period of ownership use.
The G63 is the performance flagship of the current G-Class range, powered by AMG's hand assembled 4.0 litre V8 twin turbo engine driving through an automatic transmission. Mercedes-AMG continues to build the G-Class body on a ladder frame chassis with permanent four wheel drive, a formula that has defined the model since it first appeared in 1979 and one that remains almost unique among modern luxury SUVs. This particular example is listed at USS Tokyo under lot number 79018, with the Japanese auction taking place on 1 October 2026.
Buyers considering this car should treat this report as an honest working document. No auction sheet image has yet been supplied for this listing, so the detailed inspector translation below explains clearly what is and is not confirmed, and the report will be read alongside the single exterior photograph currently available.
The Drive Review: What The Mercedes-AMG G63 Is Like To Drive
Few vehicles occupy the space the G-Class does. It is a genuine off road ladder frame 4x4 with three locking differentials, wrapped in a body that has barely changed silhouette in over four decades, yet in G63 form it is propelled by one of AMG's most characterful engines. The 4.0 litre M177 derived twin turbo V8 produces a deep, muscular exhaust note and delivers strong low down torque, giving the G63 a sensation of shove that belies its considerable height and weight. Acceleration from a standstill is startlingly rapid for a vehicle of this shape, and the automatic transmission shifts with the kind of urgency AMG customers expect, while still being smooth enough for everyday driving.
What makes the G63 memorable is the contrast between its two personalities. On the road it rides higher and feels heavier than a typical performance SUV, with steering that trades outright precision for a reassuring, substantial feel, and body control that AMG has worked hard to sharpen without ever disguising the fact this is a proper off roader underneath. Push it into a corner and there is noticeable body movement compared with a lower, wider performance car, but that is entirely the point. This is a vehicle designed to be as capable crossing rough terrain as it is arriving outside a hotel, and Mercedes-AMG has tuned the suspension, adaptive dampers and electronic driver aids to make that dual purpose work convincingly.
Inside, the elevated driving position, the boxy glasshouse and the character of the switchgear all remind the driver this is not a conventional monocoque SUV pretending to be rugged. It is the real thing, finished to a luxury standard, and enthusiasts value that authenticity. The engine note under load, the way the vehicle squats and surges on acceleration, and the sheer physical presence of the G63 on the road are experiences that few rivals can replicate, which is precisely why the model retains such a devoted following.
Auction Details
This Mercedes-AMG G63 was offered through USS Tokyo, one of Japan's largest and most respected auction houses, under lot number 79018. The Japanese auction date is 1 October 2026. The auction start price is set at ¥27,800,000. No Autoselecta guide bidding range has been set for this particular car, so no estimate is stated here. There are no closely comparable sold results currently on record for this exact specification at Japanese auction, so buyers should treat pricing as an open process rather than one anchored to recent precedent. Full live pricing, including current bid status and the working minimum bid figure, is calculated and displayed in the price panel on this page, which updates after publication and should always be checked directly rather than assumed from this report. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.

Factory Features and Equipment
The photograph available shows the G63's AMG specific bodywork, including the distinctive round LED headlamps with daytime running rings, the deep front bumper with quad exhaust styling cues typical of the G63 grade, side indicator repeaters mounted on the wing mirrors, the visible AMG multi spoke alloy wheels finished in a dark colour, and red painted brake calipers visible behind the wheel spokes, a signature AMG performance detail. The bonnet features the raised power dome characteristic of the G63's V8 installation. Beyond what is visible in the photograph, no equipment list, factory options or navigation and air conditioning details are confirmed on an auction sheet, since none has yet been supplied for this vehicle. Any further specification, such as interior trim level, additional AMG packages or infotainment specification, is not confirmed at this time.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
No auction sheet image is currently available for this Mercedes-AMG G63, so a full inspector translation cannot be provided at this time. What is known comes directly from the auction house data feed rather than a scanned inspection document, namely the overall grade of S, an exterior grade of S and an interior grade of A, together with the recorded mileage of 1,000 kilometres. These grades indicate the vehicle was assessed by the auction house inspector as being in excellent, close to new condition both inside and out, but without the underlying written sheet Autoselecta cannot confirm specific inspector remarks regarding paintwork, panel condition, interior wear, mechanical notes, warning lights, glass, tyres, wheels or any other item normally itemised on a Japanese auction sheet. Buyers should treat the S and A grades as a strong positive indicator given the extremely low mileage, while understanding that a detailed line by line translation is not possible until an auction sheet image is obtained.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
A damage diagram has not been supplied for this vehicle, so no specific panel markings, scratch codes, dent codes or repair codes can be translated or explained. Based on the auction house's own exterior grade of S, the highest grade awarded in the Japanese system, and the extremely low delivery mileage of 1,000 kilometres, the car would be expected to show negligible wear, but this cannot be independently confirmed against a diagram at this stage. From the single supplied photograph the vehicle's black paintwork, wheels, headlamps, bumper and visible bodywork appear clean and undamaged, consistent with a near new example, though a full walk around inspection sheet would be needed to state this with certainty panel by panel.
Interior Condition
The interior has been graded A by the auction house inspector, one grade below the top S band typically reserved for interiors that show absolutely no sign of use. No auction sheet is available to detail specific items such as seat wear, dashboard condition, headlining, smoke odour, or the presence of service books, manuals and spare keys, so these items are not confirmed. Given the vehicle's very low mileage, an A grade interior would be expected to present as very clean, but buyers should note this assessment cannot yet be verified against a written inspection.
Japanese Auction Grades Explained
Japanese auction houses grade both the overall vehicle and its interior separately. An overall grade of S, as awarded here, sits at the very top of the scale and is generally applied to vehicles that are either brand new or have covered such a small distance that they present as showroom fresh, which aligns with this car's 1,000 kilometre reading. An exterior grade of S similarly denotes paintwork and panels essentially free of the wear marks the scale is designed to capture. An interior grade of A denotes a very good, largely unmarked cabin, one step below the S grading typically reserved for completely untouched interiors. These grades are assigned by trained auction house inspectors at the point of sale and are widely trusted across the Japanese used car trade, though they remain a condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty.
Model History
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, known internally by the W463 platform lineage that this G63 continues, traces its origins back to 1979, when it was developed as a rugged military and civilian off road vehicle in cooperation with Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria. Over more than four decades the G-Class has evolved from a utilitarian workhorse into one of the most recognisable luxury SUVs in the world, while retaining its ladder frame construction, live axles and locking differentials throughout every generation. Mercedes-AMG began fitting increasingly powerful engines to the G-Class through the 1990s and 2000s, culminating in today's G63, which pairs AMG's 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 with the model's unmistakable boxy body. The current generation, launched in 2018 and continually updated since, retains the classic silhouette while modernising the underlying chassis, suspension and cabin technology, keeping the G63 relevant against far newer rivals.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G-Class occupies a rare position in the market because it has changed so little in outward appearance across generations, giving early and later examples a shared visual identity that few other vehicles can claim. The G63 variant, with its AMG built V8 and aggressive detailing, has become particularly sought after globally, prized for combining genuine off road engineering, a distinctive exhaust note, and a design language that has become a status symbol in its own right. Demand for well specified, low mileage G63 examples remains strong internationally, and sourcing near new cars such as this one directly from the Japanese market gives buyers access to vehicles that are difficult to find in equivalent condition elsewhere, particularly at such a low mileage figure as 1,000 kilometres. Autoselecta makes no promise regarding future values, but the model's consistent global following speaks to its enduring appeal among enthusiasts and collectors of modern performance SUVs.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Because no auction sheet or damage diagram is currently available for this particular car, prospective buyers should request the sheet before committing to a bid, so that any inspector remarks on paintwork, glass, tyres, wheels and mechanical condition can be reviewed in full. On any G63 of this generation, buyers should generally check for even panel gaps around the distinctively flat body sections, confirm the condition of the AMG alloy wheels and brake calipers for kerb damage or corrosion, and check that all electronic driver assistance systems and the locking differential controls function correctly during any pre purchase inspection. Interior checks should focus on seat leather, dashboard trim and switchgear for any sign of use, while confirming whether service books, owner manuals and both keys are present, none of which is yet confirmed on an auction sheet for this car. Given this example's extremely low mileage, mechanical wear is unlikely to be a significant factor, but verifying registration documents, service records and the number of keys supplied remains good practice with any imported vehicle.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan remains one of the most transparent used and near new car markets in the world, with auction houses such as USS Tokyo applying consistent, independently assessed grading to every vehicle that passes through. A car such as this G63, showing just 1,000 kilometres and carrying S grades across the board, illustrates exactly why buyers look to Japan, where genuinely low use, well documented examples of premium performance models are more readily found than in many other markets. Domestic Japanese buyers tend to maintain vehicles carefully and cover comparatively low annual mileages, which helps explain why examples such as this one can present in such strong condition. Importing through the Japanese auction system also gives UK buyers access to a far wider pool of stock than domestic dealer forecourts typically offer, often at pricing set through open competitive bidding rather than a fixed retail margin, and Autoselecta's direct access to USS Tokyo and other major auction houses means buyers are seeing genuine auction stock rather than vehicles that have already passed through several hands of trade margin.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Buying a vehicle from a Japanese auction involves several stages, and understanding them helps buyers bid with confidence. The process begins with reviewing the auction listing, the data feed, and where available the auction sheet and damage diagram, exactly as presented in this report. Bidding then takes place through an agent such as Autoselecta ahead of the Japanese auction deadline, followed by payment, export preparation, shipping to the destination country, customs clearance and finally registration for road use in the destination market. Buyers should always budget for Japan side costs, shipping, and destination country import duties and taxes in addition to the winning bid price, since these are calculated separately and vary by vehicle and destination.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives UK buyers direct access to Japan's major auction houses, including USS Tokyo, translating and explaining auction sheets in plain English, highlighting inspector remarks honestly rather than glossing over them, and assisting with bidding strategy right up to the deadline. Once a vehicle is secured, Autoselecta manages export documentation, shipping arrangements and vehicle tracking where available, supporting buyers through to UK arrival. Communication is maintained throughout the process, and Autoselecta's role is to make an often unfamiliar overseas buying process straightforward and transparent, without making unrealistic claims about savings or timescales.

Auction Caution
All vehicles offered through Japanese auction houses, including this Mercedes-AMG G63, are inspected prior to sale, but even a vehicle with S and A grades and a delivery mileage of 1,000 kilometres remains a used registered vehicle sold through auction rather than a vehicle covered by a manufacturer warranty. Auction sheets and grading, where supplied, provide an independent condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty, and buyers should be aware that no auction sheet or damage diagram has yet been supplied for this specific car, meaning detailed inspector remarks cannot currently be confirmed. As with any performance vehicle purchased at auction, buyers should budget for the possibility of servicing, maintenance or minor refurbishment being required after purchase, even on a car presenting in such strong overall condition.
