Condition Report

All PESOL vehicles are graded according to the Japanese Used Car Auction standard — the most widely recognised vehicle grading system in the world. Understanding these grades helps you make an informed purchase decision.

Condition reports are provided by independent Japanese auction houses and are not issued by PESOL. Detailed inspection sheets are available on request before purchase.
