1. Auction Sheet & Pre-Auction Inspection

• Every vehicle listed in Japanese auctions comes with an auction sheet, which includes:

  • Exterior/interior condition

  • Mileage verification

  • Accident history

  • Mechanical issues

• These sheets are prepared by certified inspectors and are crucial for buyers to assess vehicle quality.

2. Shaken (Vehicle Inspection System)

• Under Japan’s Road Transport Vehicle Act, vehicles must undergo Shaken, a mandatory inspection that checks:

• Roadworthiness

• Emissions compliance

• Safety systems (brakes, steering, lights)

• Environmental standards

3. Pre-Shipment Inspection

• Before export, vehicles may undergo additional checks by third-party agencies like QISJ (Quality Inspection Services Japan):

• Mechanical and environmental inspection

• Electrical system check

• Radiation and stolen vehicle screening

4. Inspection for Importing Countries

• Some countries (e.g. Bangladesh, Kenya, Jamaica) require government-accredited inspections before import.

• Japan Recondition Cars may coordinate with agencies like Autoterminal Japan for certified inspections.
