So, you’re trying to check the history of a Japanese used car, but you’ve hit a roadblock: the auction sheet not found. Don’t worry—you’re not alone! This is a common issue, and there are ways to solve it.
In this guide, we’ll explain why this happens and what you can do to get the information you need. Let’s dive in!
🔍 Top Reasons Why an Auction Sheet Might Not Be Found
Before we begin, here’s why your auction sheet not found:
- The car was sold privately (not through an auction).
- The seller doesn’t want to show the car’s history (maybe it has issues!).
- The auction house hasn’t uploaded the data yet.
- The car was sold at USS Auction (they don’t share data with third parties).
- The car is accidental or repaired (and the seller is hiding it).
📄 What Is an Auction Sheet?
An auction sheet is like a report card for a used car. It includes:
- Grades (like 4, 5, or R for accident cars).
- Mileage (how far the car has been driven).
- Damage codes (scratches, dents, repairs).
- Auction house comments (notes in Japanese).
Without it, you’re buying blindfolded! 🧑🦯
❓ Why Is My Auction Sheet Not Available?
Here are the most common reasons:
1. Sold Outside Auctions
Some cars are sold privately—like selling a bike to a friend instead of a shop. No auction = no auction sheet!
2. USS Auction Sales
USS Auction House doesn’t share data with others. So, if the car was sold there, the auction sheet not found online.
3. Hidden History
If the car has problems (like accidents or repairs), the seller might hide the auction sheet to avoid questions.
4. Data Not Uploaded
Sometimes, auction houses are slow to upload records. It’s like when your teacher hasn’t graded your test yet! 📝
🛠️ How to Find the Truth When the Auction Sheet Not Found
Even if the auction sheet is not available, you can still get a True Report from Japan! Here’s how:
Step 1: Manual Search
Experts can search 150+ auction houses and 20+ accident stock sources across Japan. This costs $35–$50, but you get a refund if nothing is found!
Step 2: What’s in a True Report?
If found, the report includes:
- ✅ Summary & assessment (overall condition)
- ✅ Accident history (if any)
- ✅ Original mileage (to check if it was changed)
- ✅ Photos (if available—very rare!)
- ✅ Specifications & dates (model, year, auction date)
Step 3: Understand the Results
- If found in USS auctions: You’ll get the auction sheet and summary, but no photos.
- If found in other auctions: You’ll get the sheet + photos (if saved).
- If found in accident stock: You’ll see damage photos and details.
