Car Auction Grade 5

Car auctions in Japan grade very clean vehicles as grade 5. However, they will have higher mileage than those graded 6, with the highest odometer readings being around 25,000 KM.

In this video we look at the auction inspector’s report for a typical grade 5 vehicle (in this case, a late 2009 Honda Stepwagon), as well as comparing grades 5 and 6 to see how they are different.

(Make sure you watch the video in full screen mode so that you can see all the details of the auction inspector’s report as I talk you through it.)
