Japanese Registration Certificates -available worldwide
It is a sad fact that the majority of imported Japanese vehicles sold by dealers do not have the correct odometer reading. Winding back odometers (“clocking”) is widespread in grey imports. Around 80% of cars from dealers have been found to be wound back between 50,000 to 150,000km.
In Japan, cars have to be registered every two years. Part of the inspection is an odometer check and the odometer reading is recorded together with the owner details. This watermarked document states the odometer reading of your vehicle at the time of the last two registrations before the export date.
These official certificates have been successfully used in courts in Australia and other countries as the example in this LINK shows.
Here is an example of the original registration document and the translation of Mazda RX7 we have checked.
