rider Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 As above, but with 'bimta' rather than bitma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 As above, but with 'bimta' rather than bitma close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 That's a good list thanks - if any free online translatable sites come up I'll be sure to post a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Check the auction sheet, if there is a star beside the mileage then it is not genuine, the confirm the mileage at their version of the MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
