What's That Car
Really Hiding?

Every used car sold through a Japanese auction is graded in person by an inspector before it crosses the block. The sheet is their handwritten record — overall grade, true kilometres on the day of sale, panel-by-panel damage map, notes on engine, interior and equipment. It's the most honest snapshot of the car's condition that exists, and it's what overseas dealers don't want you to see.

Directly from the original auction houses — USS, TAA, JU and the other major networks across Japan. We don't paraphrase or rebuild the sheet; you see the scan and the inspector's own remarks. Our team in Tokyo maintains the live index and handles deep searches for older vehicles by hand.

For cars in our live index — usually a few seconds after payment. If the vehicle isn't indexed (typically older or rarer chassis), our Hand Search plan turns around inside one business day, often the same day if you submit during Tokyo working hours.

Browse & Match is always free, so you only pay once a real record loads. For Hand Search, if our Tokyo team can't find a single auction trace of the chassis, you get a full refund — no arguments, no admin fees.

The reading is recorded by the inspector on the day the car sold — independent of any dealer or seller along the chain. If the dashboard you're looking at today shows a lower number than the auction record, the odometer has been clocked. That gap is the most common red flag we surface.

No subscription, no monthly fee. Chassis search is free and unlimited. You only pay when you choose to pull a full inspector sheet, and each report stays in your My Reports page for unlimited re-download.
