Why do I need to know if my car was imported from Japan?

It’s easy to roll back the odometer on imported Japanese cars, which makes them targets for tampering. When Japanese used cars are imported, buyers can alter the car and wind back the odometer to increase the price. Make sure you’re not getting ripped off with a Japanese import check.

How do I check my Japanese import car’s history?

The best way to check where a car is from is through the Chassis Number (VIN) number. You can find the Chassis Number of a used car by checking the chassis; it is usually printed around the engine bay. Japanese car makers do not use a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as is common in the United States and elsewhere. Instead, Japan uses a Chassis (Frame) Number — nine to twelve alphanumeric characters identifying model and serial number.

How do you check the mileage on a Japanese import car?

You can check the deregistration certificate. Before the car is exported from Japan, it must be deregistered, and the mileage will be noted on the certificate. When you download a car history report, you can see the mileage when the car was deregistered and last sold, so you can ensure the odometer has not been tampered with.

Why do Japanese imports have low mileage?

Japanese used cars often have low mileage because they are put out of service after a couple of years due to harsh car inspections. Although these cars cannot be sold n the Japanese market, they can be exported to other countries like UK, Australia, NEw Zealand or elsewhere. Low mileage is not necessarily a cause for concern, but in some cases, sellers wind back the odometer even further to increase the sale price.

How do I check a Japanese VIN number?

Many Japanese cars have the chassis number printed on the firewall of the car once you lift the bonnet. It’s slightly different to the VINs of other vehicles, but you can still use it to check the history of your vehicle by entering it on a car history website like Carify.
