Odometer Tampering or "Winding Back" the kms
Unfortunately odometer tampering on imported vehicles is widespread in many countries which do not have official independent checking in place prior to or at the time of import.
Japanese Accident History and Repairs
Past auction reports and pictures can show details of repair history as well as existing damage. Accident history and airbag deployment may also be recorded by the Japanese Transport Authority (MLIT).
Japanese Odometer History
Odometer (km) readings are recorded every time a vehicle is inspected for registration renewal in Japan (3 years from new then every 2 years). This information can be invaluable to both buyers and sellers of Japanese imports.
