How to check the service history of a used car?

To check the service history of a used car, start by examining the service booklet for dealer stamps and maintenance dates. For used japanese cars, you must verify the Auction Sheet using the car’s chassis number; this document reveals the original condition grade and recorded mileage.

Additionally, look for Shaken (safety inspection) records and maintenance stickers in the engine bay or door jambs. You can also use online platforms like CarVX or JapanStat to pull a comprehensive history report, ensuring the car hasn't been in an accident or had its odometer rolled back.
