Japan Odometer Check

1
Odometer Repair or Replacement
Just like cars anywhere else in the world,
Japanese cars may have a genuine fault with the
odometer which may require odometer repair
through a manufacturer service center.
2
In this case the odometer repair is noted in the
service records and will be reported to auction
since there are severe penalties in place for not
doing so. The auction includes a next to the
kms on the auction report to denote unknown total
kms, or a where records have been provided by
the seller to confirm the total.
3
It is in the sellers best interest to provide
records, since this will allow the best price to
be obtained. For the latter case, the auction
report will show the kms and date of the odometer
repair or replacement, the current odometer
reading as presented to auction, and the total
kms travelled.
4
Aftermarket 300 km/h and 320 km/h speedos and
instrument clusters from NISMO, Veilside, HKS and
the like are often fitted to Japanese sports
cars. Again this would be written on the auction
report and noted as above depending on whether
records confirming the total KMS are provided.
5
Odometer (km) readings are recorded every time a
vehicle is inspected for registration renewal in
Japan (3 years from new then every 2 years), so
odometer tampering within Japan is extremely rare
within Japan itself and hard to get away with.
