It’s easy to roll back the odometer on imported Japanese cars, which makes them targets for tampering. When Japanese used cars are imported to Australia, 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.
The best way to check where a car is from is through the VIN number. You can find the VIN of a used car by checking the chassis; it is usually printed around the engine bay. Privately imported Japanese VINs start with "6U9", but this tells you nothing about the mileage and condition. Enter the VIN on Carify to learn more about the car’s history.
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.
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 Australia. 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.
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.
