Auction journeys

Why it matters: every trip to auction leaves its own sheet, with its own grade, mileage and photos. One sheet is never the whole story. How to read a car's full history →

Grades

The grades of the cars buyers check

4 and 4.5 are the most common grades, but 1 in 6 cars carries a repair grade. We read the grade from each car's most recent sheet.

Grade changes

When a car is sold again, the grade can change

Grades are not fixed. Among 549 cars graded at two or more auctions, the grade moved more often than you'd think.

16.8%

Why it matters: a repair grade doesn't disappear because a car was sold again. If any sheet in the history says R or RA, treat the car as repaired. What R and RA mean →

Sheet age

How old is the auction sheet you're checking?

Usually older than people think. The median sheet was 8.4 months old when checked. Rust, wear and mileage kept going after the inspector wrote it.

Over 6 months58.8%
Over 12 months42.9%

Mileage: 1.5% of cars sold more than once showed a mileage drop of 1,000+ km between sales, about 1 in 68. How to check real mileage

Why it matters: an older sheet shows the car as it was then, not today. How old is too old →

Inspector notes

What Japanese inspectors wrote on the sheets

From 227 sheets where we translated the inspector's own handwritten notes. We count only what the inspector wrote, never our templates.

Why it matters: the most important lines are written in Japanese, in the notes, not in the grade. Spot rust on the sheet →

How we count

What's includedEvery completed JP Sheet report since 31 Mar 2026 (2,856 checks, 2,780 different cars) and every translated sheet. Rebuilt every night.
Who these cars areCars our customers chose to check before buying, not every car sold in Japan. Popular export models appear more often.
How we read itEach car counts once. Repeated rows are removed. The grade comes from the car's most recent sheet. A mileage drop only counts when it is over 1,000 km, to allow for rounding between houses.
PrivacyOnly totals are shown. Never a chassis number, lot number or customer detail. Any group smaller than 20 cars is left out.
