Like the HPI vehicle history check in the UK, The Japanese grading sheet offers a similar window of information into a vehicle’s history and current condition.
This essential document shows a host of valuable information and acts as a form of mileage declaration, confirming whether the mileage is genuine or not.
The grading sheets are available for every vehicle which enters the mainstream Japanese trade auction market. However not all importers are either able or willing to offer a copy of this important document. We do.
We believe in transparency, we only purchase high quality vehicles that meet our high standard and requirements. We purchase direct and use our own people to source our vehicles in Japan.
As a result, we always have the grading certificates for each vehicle we import from Japan, furthermore we are always pleased to supply a copy of this important document to our customers.
If you purchase from other importers, always ask for the grading sheet specific to the vehicle you are purchasing. If they cant or wont produce a copy, ask yourself why?
The Japanese grading sheet shows whether there is a record of previous changes to mileage, the vehicles condition and states whether the vehicle has been involved in any recorded accidents. Other information such as vehicle age, spec and engine size and chassis number etc are also displayed on the sheet.
An excellent quality used vehicle is classified by either a 4 or 4.5 in the top right corner of the certificate. 3.5 is also an acceptable grading. If however, the number is classified by an A or a 0 or 3 or any other combination, this is indictive of either an accident grade or very low quality vehicle.

We exclusively only purchase high quality, grade 4 or 3.5 examples. We believe an excellent campervan conversion always starts with a great quality base vehicle with low mileage.
