What is Used Vehicle Inspection Sheet?


Japan is a source of automobile industry. From past many years, Japanese vehicles are dominating the automobile industry with their style, elegance, and built. Every year, Japan witness manufacturing of many vehicles integrated with latest technology. These vehicles are known among the masses for their reliability and availability at reasonable prices. People are keen to buy a Japanese vehicle. For some buying a new vehicle is beyond their financial limits, hence they go with a used one.


Like new vehicles, Japanese used vehicles are also popular. Large numbers of used vehicles from Japan are exported to many countries across the world. The increase in the demand of Japanese used cars, ultimately leads to the popularity of Japanese auto auction. There are many auction halls in Japan that are popular for purchasing and selling of used automobile. As large numbers of vehicles are sold, there are chances that the vehicle may possess some hidden problems. Hence, to save the used vehicle importer from being left with the useless vehicle, necessary inspections are required before the vehicle is purchased. An inspection on used vehicles is done before the expo and inspection sheet is generated determining the condition of the vehicle.

Inspection sheet is a document, which is prepared by the highly qualified vehicle experts inspecting the vehicles before exhibition in auction for bids. The condition of the car, its grade and options are mentioned in the inspection sheet. It reflects the entire defect including even the small ones along with the auction grade letting the buyers to know the actual condition of the vehicle overall. In some countries this is also called as pre buy check list or quality assurance used cars inspection check sheet.

In Japan, inspection sheet is prepared by all auction halls under very strict supervision for each and every vehicle that are present there for auction. This sheet is prepared by qualified vehicle experts that have wide technical knowledge of engine, electrical, paints, and tires. Each sheet has even minor detail of scratch, so buyers can buy the vehicle on base of that inspection sheet without physically inspect of vehicle. Overseas buyers buy vehicles from auctions on the basis of inspection sheet with full trust and confidence. These auction sheets are displayed at the sites of every auction hall, so that used vehicle importers or buyers can check the vehicle at any place around the world.

Generally these inspection sheets includes below items which buyers can check.
