Japanese Imports - any known means of mileage verification?

I'm trawling for a second TT6 at the moment and you see lots of UK and Japanese ads for jspec Supras claiming very low mileage for the year. In Japan there are even a couple of 30k km cars for around £50k.

 

Does anyone know if Japanese car km are verifiable and how you would you go about getting the verification? My own car was imported when 2 years old with 38k km on the clock. I must own the only Supra in the entire World that has ever been driven on Japanese roads with 19k km annual average before it was imported to the UK. it all looks a little unusual all these very low mileage Japanese cars commanding a strong price premium. It'd be useful if there is a Japanese site like the MOT history check there is here that could be referenced.

Usually jap imports come with what's called a "bitma" certificate which is their method of mileage verification. Mine came with one.

 

What they do to actually verify and issue a certificate i don't know im sure a google would find it out
