History before importation

[Mr2kyle]

Just after dropping into the "average mileage on a mk4" thread and it got me thinking. Is there a way of finding out the history of your car before it arrived on uk/Irish shores? As mine has 102k on the clock with miles beside it but it's a jap import so.... I wonder how many of that 102k is in km. Any enlightenment is greatly appreciated as always.

Thanks

You can find out a little bit like mileage history and auctions etc

 

Type in VXreport on google. You pay for a report it’s actually about £15 but it’s pretty good

 

You don’t get service history though

Sometimes there are stickers around the engine bay and door shuts with Japanese writing on and dates, well numbers that you have to decipher the dates from as they use emperor dates for their years!?

I hunted through the paperwork and found the original service book in Japanese with all of the service dates and miles. Also found the import cert with mileage (Km) and date of import. I could spend hours looking through the paperwork it’s great fun.

My brother lives in japan, maybe I should get him to have a look at mine.

My paperwork wasn’t in Japan, it was in the kitchen!
