    πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Japan History

    Our vehicle history reports provide valuable information about the vehicle's history in Japan before it was imported to New Zealand. By checking your import against our database, you can avoid potential horror stories and ensure that you are making an informed purchase.

    This report will contain the following information where available:

    • Accident History
      The report contains a comprehensive overview of the vehicle's accident history, including any malfunctions, collisions, airbag deployments, thefts, fire damage, water/flood damage, hail damage, or other natural disasters. Shockingly, over 20% of Japanese imported vehicles have a history of one or more collisions.
    • Odometer History
      Additionally, our report includes information about the vehicle's odometer history, such as wind backs, excessive usage, and other potential problems. However, it's important to note that the availability of the complete odometer history may be limited for older vehicles.
    • Contamination Risks
      We also provide information about potential contamination risks, such as whether the vehicle has been used in a contaminated region or failed the contamination test, including radioactive contamination.
    • Commercial Usage
      Our report also indicates whether the vehicle has been used for commercial purposes, such as a police car, taxi, rental, etc.
    • Recalls
      Our report also covers any recalls the vehicle may have had and the reason for the recall, such as the Takata airbag recall.
    • Average Market Price and Safety Ratings
      We also provide auction data to indicate the average market price of the vehicle in Japan and safety ratings where available.

    Please keep in mind that some parts of the report are sourced from the Japanese government during Japanese working hours using human operators. Therefore, the collection of the report can take up to one Japanese business day. You will be notified by email once the report is ready.

    Glossary

    Alternative Fuel Type

    This refers to the secondary fuel used by a vehicle which normally operates on another fuel type such as petrol.

    Assembly Type

    Indicates whether a motor vehicle has been:

    • Imported Built-Up, or
    • NZ Assembled

    Assembly type "UNKNOWN" indicates that this information was never recorded at the time of registration.

    Axle Type

    The axle configuration, or "axle type" is crucial in determining the Road User Charge (RUC) classification of a motor vehicle subject to RUC fees.

    CC Rating

    Total displacement in cubic centimetres of all cylinders of the engine of a motor vehicle.

    Some older vehicles may show incorrect values depending on whether or not the original displacement measurements had been converted from cubic inches or other measurement units before introduction of the metric system.

    Certificate of Fitness (COF)

    A Certificate of Fitness (CoF) is a regular inspection that ensures vehicles like heavy trucks, larger trailers, motor homes, taxis, shuttles, buses, and rental vehicles meet required safety standards. Legally, these vehicles must be inspected for a CoF every six months. COF inspections are required for vehicle safety purposes and a vehicle that requires a CoF cannot legally be used on the road unless it has a current CoF. Vehicles requiring this certification are: heavy vehicles - trucks, larger trailers, motor homes; all passenger service vehicles - taxis, shuttles and buses and rental vehicles.

    Country of Origin

    Country where the vehicle is built or manufactured (not merely assembled). Vehicles assembled in New Zealand are put together from CKD packs ("Completely-Knocked-Down"). They are not made in New Zealand — their Country of Origin will be the country from which the CKD packs are imported.

    Date of latest WOF Inspection

    Date of the last recorded WOF inspection for the vehicle.

    Successful WOF inspections have been recorded in the vehicle register since November 1995, at the time a vehicle is relicensed. Only the most recent WOF prior to the relicensing is normally recorded.

    Since licensing is often done on an annual basis and WOF's are often required bi-annually, this item of information does not necessarily show if the vehicle has a current WOF.

    It is intended to begin recording all WOF inspections, both passed and failed, in the near future.

    Engine Number

    Every vehicle engine is marked with an engine number by the factory. The engine number includes coded information, which can be decoded to reveal information such as year of manufacture, country of manufacture, and engine type. Additionally, the engine number also serves as the serial number of the engine of a self-propelled vehicle and is normally supplied by the vehicle manufacturer.

    Fuel Type

    The type of fuel used in the engine of a motor vehicle. This refers to the primary fuel type if the vehicle also runs on an Alternative Fuel Type such as LPG or CNG.

    Imported Damaged?

    Imported with structural damage or deterioration at the border check inspection?

    Licence Type

    There are 4 types of licences:

    • Licence for normal road use (L);
    • Exemption licence (X) when the vehicle has been exempted from normal road use licence: the expiry of an exemption licence is the date after which the vehicle must be relicensed for normal road use;
    • Restoration licence (R) when vehicle is under repair or restoration and has been exempted from normal road use licence: the expiry of a restoration licence is the date after which the vehicle must be relicensed for normal road use;
    • Licence for trade plate (T): this licence permits the licencee to use a vehicle without registering the vehicle. A trade plate is associated with a person/organisation, it cannot be associated with a vehicle and so any query on a trade plate will not return any vehicle details but provide owner details which are the details of the owner of the trade plate.
    Licensing

    Vehicle licensing is the process of issuing a licence which allows the vehicle to be used on public roads. This is not the same as registration, which is where you're issued with your number plates. The licensing fee helps to pay for roading projects and road safety programmes. You have to license your vehicle regularly, at least annually, and you must display a current licence label on your windscreen. The licence is issued for a period of 6 or 12 months, after the vehicle is registered. The vehicle owner pays a licensing fee, and a licence label is attached to the vehicle.

    Note

    Retail prices are based on advertised prices of vehicles in good condition. More about Vehicle Market Valuation.

    Plate Number

    Plate number refers to the unique combination of up to six alphanumeric characters assigned to a motor vehicle registered in accordance with Transport Legislation in New Zealand. These characters are displayed on metallic plates affixed to both the back and front of most vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, caravans, and trailers authorised to travel on New Zealand roads. The plate number is also commonly referred to as the registration plate number or simply number plate. It is important to note that the number of characters displayed on the plate will depend on the type of vehicle and the date of registration. All motor vehicles registered in New Zealand must display the plate number.

    Popularity of Year Model

    Shows how many vehicles of this year model are currently registered in New Zealand.

    Power

    Power output of the engine of a motor vehicle as rated by the Manufacturer (in kilowatts). Some vehicles may be showing brake horsepower (bhp) for this figure.

    Registration

    Vehicle registration is the process of adding a vehicle to the Motor Vehicle Register, the list of all vehicles currently used on the road in New Zealand. Registration is generally a one-off process that officially recognises you as the person legally responsible for your vehicle. It's not the same as vehicle licensing, which is where you pay a fee for using public roads. When a vehicle is registered, we add its details to the Motor Vehicle Register and issue its registration plates (number plates) at this time. Until a vehicle is registered, it cannot be driven on the road and must be towed or carried for transport. Registration has been traditionally confused with 'licensing', when people refer to the renewal of licence in order to obtain a new licence label (the 'licence sticker') to place on their vehicles. If your vehicle is not correctly registered or is unregistered, you could receive a fine or infringement.

    Registration Status

    The registration status will show as:

    • Active — if the registration is current (but not necessarily licensed);
    • Cancelled — if the registration has been cancelled due to the vehicle having been destroyed, written off, or permanently exported out of New Zealand;
    • Lapsed — if the registration has been cancelled due to the vehicle having remained unlicensed beyond the period allowed by legislation.
    Reliable Odometer

    This indicator will show "Yes" if the odometer is reliable, or "No" for no if the odometer is unreliable. The information is entered at the time the vehicle is last inspected. The reliable odometer flag is also set to "No" if customs or courts request it. It was developed as a means to show on ownership papers that the true mileage may not be reflected.

    Reported Stolen

    This field indicates if the vehicle is stolen or of interest to the police.

    Result of Latest WOF Inspection
    • PassedΒ  — vehicle has passed examination.
    • Failed — vehicle has failed examination.
    Road User Charges (RUC) and RUC Licence Type

    All diesel powered vehicles and other vehicles powered by a fuel not taxed at source, regardless of weight, must pay Road User Charges (RUC). Vehicles with a manufacturer's gross laden weight of more than 3.5 tonnes (3500kg) must also pay RUC. Fuels taxed at source are petrol, compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). There are 4 types of RUC licence: Distance, Time, Supplementary and Gap. Distance licences are purchased in multiples of 1,000 kilometres, while time licences are purchased in 1 month blocks. Supplementary licences are intended for short trips for the occasional cartage of heavier loads and are bought in multiples of 50 kilometres.

    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

    A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character number assigned to a motor vehicle. VINs are a security feature that helps combat fraud and are used to identify vehicles for administrative purposes. In New Zealand, VINs are checked during warrant of fitness and certificate of fitness inspections, and are accessible by the police and vehicle inspectors as they are recorded on a centralised database. The VIN is also checked during roadside inspections. VINs are used in various countries around the world including New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and the United States.

    Warrant of Fitness (WOF) Inspection

    A Warrant of Fitness (WoF) is a regular check that your vehicle meets required safety standards, at the time of inspection. It applies to passenger cars and light vehicles, and is required for vehicle safety purposes. A vehicle that requires a WOF cannot legally be used on the road unless it has a current Warrant of Fitness certificate. It's your responsibility to keep your vehicle in warrantable condition at all times, which means replacing any parts that don't meet the safety standards before the next inspection. For example, while tyres on your vehicle may pass on the day of your warrant inspection, you'll need to replace them as soon as the tread gets to the minimum depth. If you wait until the next inspection before replacing them, you increase your risk of having a crash or receiving a fine.

    Wheelbase

    The longitudinal distance between the first and last axle of a motor vehicle. The wheelbase is normally indicated in millimetres.
