Daihatsu is a niche choice in the UK, but the Hijet still turns up as a compact workhorse for small businesses and specialist conversions. It’s tiny, easy to park and often surprisingly practical if your work involves tight streets and short journeys.

Daihatsu no longer has a mainstream presence in the UK, but its Hijet remains well known among buyers who want a compact van or pick-up. First introduced internationally in the 1960s, the Hijet became a favourite in micro-van form thanks to its small footprint and simple layout.
In the UK used market, most Hijets you’ll see are older examples or imported kei vehicles, sometimes converted into small campers, catering vans or specialist runarounds. That niche appeal is exactly why they hold their own against bigger, more common vans. The trade-off is that parts supply and previous maintenance can vary, especially with imports. If you want a small van that can get into places larger vans cannot, a Daihatsu Hijet can be a clever solution.
