When you buy from a third party, the seller knows everything and you know what they choose to show you. A CarTrust report flips that: the car's real Japanese history, transparent, in seconds — before you pay a deposit.
Each step answers a question you can't answer from the driver's seat — and shouldn't have to take anyone's word for.
The report shows every recorded odometer reading across the car's auction appearances and registry records, plus the verified mileage floor — the highest reading on record, so the truth can only be at or above it. Any rollback is flagged in red.
Japanese auctions grade every car. Grade R or RA means documented accident-repair history, whatever the paint looks like today. CarTrust shows the grade from the original record and flags accident-repaired cars clearly.
Sheets get cropped, photoshopped or generously retranslated. CarTrust shows the original Japanese inspection sheet for every appearance with an independent English translation, including the panel damage codes (A1 scratch, U dent, W repaired, XX panel replaced).
A car that bounced through auction many times is a car trade buyers kept rejecting — a signal most private buyers never see. The report lists every appearance with date, auction house, lot, grade and mileage.
The report checks the record for stolen and written-off markers and shows the result plainly: Clear or Flagged.
Every report includes an open-recall check, provided with RecallsCheck.cy — recalls issued in Japan don't fix themselves when the car lands in Limassol.
The auction record lists the factory equipment and options as inspected in Japan, so spec claims become checkable instead of takeable-on-faith.
An Instant report is issued in seconds, from your phone, standing on the forecourt. Check availability for the chassis number free first, then decide with the record in front of you — and share the permanent link with your mechanic or family before committing.
No. You only need the chassis number (VIN) — it's printed on the registration document and stamped on the car itself. CarTrust checks the recorded history at source; the seller isn't involved.
Yes. Check availability for the chassis number free of charge first; an Instant report is then issued in seconds on your phone. You can read the record before the test drive is over.
Because you're seeing one sheet, chosen and translated by the seller. CarTrust pulls the record independently: every auction appearance with its own original sheet and an independent English translation, plus mileage, flags and recalls.
Yes. You'll know exactly what you own, you'll have evidence if a dispute with the seller arises, and when you sell, the permanent certificate becomes your proof of a clean record.
Compare it against the report. CarTrust shows the original inspection sheet for every auction appearance, pulled independently from the record — if the sheet you were handed differs from the original (grade, mileage, panel marks, lot number), you'll see it immediately.
The report lists every appearance with its own grade. A car that climbs from 3.5 to 4.5 between auctions was repaired or re-presented in between — a pattern you can only catch by seeing the full timeline, not one sheet.
The report carries the photos from the car's auction record — taken at inspection in Japan, stored by CarTrust, not editable by any seller. Compare them with the listing photos: same wheels, same trim, same marks.
The report tracks the shipment by VIN for RoRo carriers: the vessel name, each port departure and arrival, and the expected arrival date — so “it ships next week” becomes a checkable claim.
The inspection sheet's panel diagram codes every panel: W means repaired or repainted, XX means the panel was replaced, RX replaced and badly. CarTrust translates these codes on every sheet, so repairs short of a full accident grade still show.
Checked. Transparent. Trusted. — All prices include 19% VAT. Every report is a permanent link you can share — no login required to view it. CarTrust verifies the recorded auction & registry data; we do not physically inspect the vehicle and do not accept responsibility for inaccuracies in the underlying source records.
