Thanks I will take a look!

morning, a lot of scrap is offered, I made this experience recently.
import your own nicely well kept second hand from england, especially a low cc lpg driven to reduce your operating costs and to be more environmentally concerned.
there is a wide choice in the classifieds back in europe, even RHDs on the continent, watch for ex.:

stuff it in a container and use the remaining space in the container to pack additional household moving stuff.  if you make the full cost comparison, you will be surprised. have a nice day.  aquawatch

Good luck you will have a very hard time finding one in good condition. I bought my car through a private seller through l'express, no problems there, I wouldn't buy through ABC motors and most dealers will give you a bad deal, buy privately and pay a mechanic to give it a once over. We did this and were saved from buying a car with a dodgy gear box.

Thanks Peaches - we've been told this by others as well!
I take it you mean second hand cars from dealers - a new car from a dealer would obviously be fine?
Thanks!

Yes be wary of second hand cars from dealers new cars are fine but double the price of UK cars I have noticed.

There are a lot of reconditioned secondhand cars on roads in Mauritius, some are perfectly fine, others are dangerous even if they look OK cosmetically. The mechanical standards that I have experienced on Mauritian cars is below that which I'd expect to find in western europe. I'd say the best thing to do is to get the help of a friend who knows about the mechanics of cars and who will know what to look out for when you view a car. Other option is to go to the more expensive main brand dealers as I presume they have a franchise licence to protect and so will probably have to back up their warrantyin a greater way(although I have no experience of using those in mauritius).
