Frequently Asked Questions

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 1982 and serve buyers in 14+ countries. Our reports are 100% authentic — we never alter any data.

Pakistan, Kenya, UK, Bangladesh, UAE, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Cyprus, Zambia, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Nigeria, Uganda, Ireland and more. Our service works for any Japanese import vehicle worldwide.

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 (500+ data sources), your report arrives instantly after payment. Manual search takes 24–48 hours.

500+ Japanese 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. Full 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, R (repaired after accident), and RA (repaired, airbag deployed). 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, 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.

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.

Deeper Scan ($15) 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), full auction history timeline, confidence score with 4 sub-scores, critical issues panel with Japanese terms and USD repair costs, and recommended next steps tailored to the vehicle.

$5 for translation-only upload at /auction-sheet-translation/. $10 for Report + Translation bundle at chassis checkout. $15 for Report + Translation + Deeper Scan (premium tier).

$15 as either an upgrade at chassis verification checkout OR a standalone upload at /auction-sheet-translation/. Bulk packages start at $9 per scan.

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

Translation tells you what's WRITTEN on the sheet. Deeper Scan tells you what's HIDING BEHIND it — re-listing patterns, mileage tampering, theft records, market valuation, full auction history. If you just need to read the sheet, choose Translation. If you're about to import the car, choose Deeper Scan.

Yes. The Deeper Scan shows every previous auction listing for your chassis — dates, venues (USS, JAA, CAA, etc.), lot numbers, reserve and bid amounts, and sold/not-sold status. Re-listing patterns are 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.

Yes. The mileage verification scan compares the odometer reading against auction records and previous listings. Gaps suggesting tampering are flagged as Suspect.

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.

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 ($15) at checkout.

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

We deliver within 24 to 48 hours. Our team works directly with auction house staff in Japan.

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.
