Auction Sheet Verification FAQs

Yes. Enter a 17-digit VIN on our VIN check page and we search the US federal title database (NMVTIS), salvage and insurance auctions, dealer listings and service networks. You get title brands — salvage, flood, fire, hail, rebuilt, junk, lemon — every odometer reading on record, previous owners, accident and write-off records, theft and lien checks, service history, and photographs from past sale listings. $29, and identifying the vehicle first is free. Finished within 12 hours or refunded. Japanese vehicles are a separate service — a Japanese chassis number is not a VIN.

An auction sheet (JP Sheet) is the official inspection report created by the auction house when a car is sold in Japan. It documents the vehicle's grade, original mileage, accident history, damage marks, interior condition, and full equipment list — all recorded by a licensed Japanese inspector.

Verification means we retrieve the original auction record directly from the Japanese auction database and present it to you. It confirms your vehicle's real grade, mileage, and accident history — protecting you from fake or manipulated seller documents.

Anyone buying a Japanese import car should verify — private buyers, dealers, importers, and car agents. The auction sheet is the only document that shows what the car was really like when it left Japan.

Yes. JP Sheet retrieves data directly from Japanese auction house databases. We have been operating since 2023 and serve buyers worldwide. Our reports are 100% authentic — we never alter any data.

We serve buyers worldwide. Our service works for any Japanese import vehicle, anywhere it ships — including Pakistan, Kenya, the UK, Bangladesh, UAE, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Cyprus, Zambia, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Nigeria, Uganda, Ireland and every other destination Japanese cars are exported to.

Enter your chassis number on the JP Sheet homepage, confirm the vehicle details shown, enter your email, complete payment, and receive your full report instantly. The process takes under 60 seconds.

Your chassis number is on your vehicle registration document, inside the driver's door frame, or on the dashboard visible through the windscreen. It looks like NZE141-6048720 — letters, hyphen, numbers.

For cars in our database (Japan-wide auction coverage), your report arrives instantly after payment. Manual search takes 24–48 hours.

Japan-wide auction coverageJapanese auction houses including USS, TAU, LAA, CAA, JU, and hundreds of regional houses across Japan.

Use our Manual Search service ($35). Our team contacts the auction house directly. Refund if nothing is found.

Yes — and you should. Ask the seller for the chassis number, enter it on JP Sheet, and confirm the real grade, mileage and accident history before making any payment.

Grades run from S (perfect) down through 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3, 2, 1, and R or RA (repaired accident — some auction houses write R, others RA). Higher is better. Grade 6 or S means near-new condition.

Original auction sheet images, vehicle photos from auction, condition grade, original mileage, auction house name, sold price in Yen, accident marks, damage codes, repair history, equipment list, the full auction history (every appearance of the vehicle), an automatic mileage rollback alert, and a permanent report link.

Yes. Every report has a permanent link that never expires. Access it, share it with your dealer or mechanic, or revisit it any time — no login required.

Yes. Your report link can be shared with anyone — dealer, mechanic, buyer, or insurer. It is accessible without an account.

JP Sheet reports come directly from official Japanese auction databases and are never modified. If a seller's physical sheet differs from our report, the seller's copy may have been edited.

Contact support immediately. We will re-verify and resolve any discrepancy. Our data comes directly from the auction house and is not edited by us.

Every one. Each verified report includes the vehicle's complete auction history — every appearance with its date, auction house, lot number, grade, mileage, prices, sale result, photos and auction sheet, newest first, with your purchased record highlighted.

The report compares the odometer across all auction appearances in chronological order. If the reading ever goes down between auctions, a clear tampering alert appears at the top of the Auction History — alongside a summary of how many times the car was seen, first and last seen years, sold vs unsold results and the mileage range.

The newest auction by date. Your main report is always built from the most recent record, and every earlier appearance is shown in the Auction History section below it.

Reports display the data captured at the time of purchase. The full auction history is included for verifications from June 2026 onwards; reports purchased earlier keep their original content. If you need the complete history for a vehicle you verified before then, contact support and we'll help.

Our team translates all Japanese text on your auction sheet into clear English — inspector notes, damage descriptions, equipment names, and handwritten comments that the grade alone doesn't capture.

$5 for translation-only upload at /auction-sheet-translation/. $10 for Report + Translation bundle at chassis checkout. $20 for Report + Translation + Deeper Scan (premium tier).

30 minutes on average. 12 hours hard maximum. 80% of translations are delivered within 30 minutes during Japan business hours.

Human translation by our specialists experienced with Japanese auction terminology. The Deeper Scan adds analysis by our Verification Team. We do not use automated AI — auction sheet language requires expert knowledge.

Yes. Go to /auction-sheet-translation/ and upload JPG, PNG or PDF (up to 3 files, 10 MB each). Choose Translation ($5) or Deeper Scan ($20) at checkout.

Yes. Every translation has a permanent public URL. Share it with dealers, mechanics, banks, shipping companies — the link works forever.

Deeper Scan ($20) is our premium tier. It includes everything in a translation PLUS a 9-point hidden risk audit (theft scan, VIN match, frame damage, accident grade, repair history, paint detection, flood/fire markers, mileage verification, re-listing pattern), market valuation in USD (clean vs this-vehicle vs salvage), specialist-analyzed auction history (re-listing patterns, price signals), confidence score with 4 sub-scores, critical issues panel with Japanese terms and USD repair costs, and exactly what to verify with the seller before you pay.

$20 as either an upgrade at chassis verification checkout OR a standalone upload at /auction-sheet-translation/. Bulk packages (paused for now) start at $12 per scan.

Translation tells you what's WRITTEN on the sheet. Deeper Scan tells you what it all MEANS — a specialist's 9-point audit, re-listing patterns analyzed, mileage verified, theft records, market valuation. If you just need to read the sheet, choose Translation. If you're about to import the car, choose Deeper Scan.

Yes — for $20, even while your translation is still in progress. Open your report and tap Upgrade to Deeper Scan. Your order becomes a combined Translation + Deeper Scan, and when it's ready the progress bar turns into a View button that opens everything instantly — you'll also receive an email.

Yes — the analyzed version. Every verified report already shows the raw auction history (every appearance with dates, lots, grades, mileage, prices and photos). The Deeper Scan adds a specialist's analysis of that history: re-listing patterns, price-drop signals, and what each appearance means — repeated re-listing is a strong signal that other buyers walked away.

Yes. We provide a 3-tier USD estimate — Clean Example price (non-accident, same year), This Vehicle price (adjusted for actual condition), and Salvage Floor (parts-out value). Helps you negotiate or walk away.

Yes. The first scan in the 9-point audit cross-checks your chassis against the Japanese stolen vehicle registry. Returns Safe / Caution / Danger with reasoning.

Every verified report now does this automatically — the odometer is compared across all auction appearances in time order, and a rollback alert fires if the reading ever decreases. The Deeper Scan goes further: a specialist verifies the mileage against inspector notes and listing patterns and rates the risk by severity.

A $15 add-on to any delivered report. Auction records change after the sale — a car listed today may sell tomorrow, and houses often publish the result, hammer price and extra photos days later. Our team re-pulls your chassis from all Japan-wide auction coverage and adds whatever is new to the same report link, then emails you. A Deeper Scan includes one re-check.

We tell you that. We can only show what an auction house has published — if nothing new exists yet, nothing is added and you get an email saying so. The fee covers the search itself, so it is not refunded. The re-check option comes back on your report 48 hours later in case the car goes through the lane again.

Use the Report a problem button on the report page. Tick what looks off — photos missing, a wrong price, a detail that does not match the sheet — and a team member checks it against the original auction sheet within 12 hours. If it needs fixing we fix it and email you. It is free.

Yes. Every handwritten Japanese cursive note is translated word-for-word, with original Japanese above and English below. Often contains the most valuable information on the sheet.

Yes. Our VIN check is a separate service covering vehicles titled in the United States and Canada. Enter a 17-character VIN and we return title history, odometer records, accident and salvage records, and auction history where one exists. It is a different service from our Japanese auction sheets, on entirely different sources.

Mainly NMVTIS — the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, run by the US Department of Justice. States, insurers, salvage yards and junk yards are required by law to report to it, which is why a salvage brand filed in one state still shows up after the car is retitled in another. We also draw on salvage and insurance auctions, dealer listing networks, and manufacturer and DOT filings.

It means none of the databases we searched held a record — not that the car has a clean past. Damage repaired privately, or an accident never claimed on insurance, leaves no trace in any database, ours or anyone else's. Tell us and we will search again by hand at no charge.

No, and we would rather say so plainly. The state, insurer or auction house that filed the record has to correct it — we report what the record says, we do not create it. Tell us anyway: we will search again free and note the dispute on any report we hold.

No. Our reports return vehicle records only — never an owner's name, address or contact details. We do not hold that information. Using our service to research a person is prohibited under our acceptable use policy, and in the US the Driver's Privacy Protection Act restricts what vehicle records may be used for.

No. It tells you what was reported to the databases — title brands, odometer readings, auctions, sales. Rust, a tired gearbox, a poorly repaired panel: only a mechanic finds those. Use the report to decide what to ask the seller and what to have checked.

Only if it was registered in the United States or Canada. A vehicle that never entered North America will not appear in these databases, whatever its VIN. For a Japanese car, use our chassis number search instead.

When a chassis isn't in the standard online database, our team manually contacts Japanese auction houses and searches private archives to find your vehicle's original record. Cost is $35.

We deliver within 24 to 48 hours.

Full money-back guarantee. If our team cannot locate any record for your chassis, you receive a complete refund immediately.

Full auction sheet with photos, auction sheet only, or photos only — depending on what the auction house has on file. You pay nothing if nothing is found.

Records may be missing because: smaller regional auction house doesn't publish online, the record is old and not digitised, the car was a private import, or there was a data upload delay. Manual search covers all these cases.

Yes. The Manual Archive Search ($35) already includes translation and Deeper Scan if the record is found. No separate add-on needed.
