Honda auction sheet verification
Honda's Fit, Vezel and N-Box are among the most popular compact imports on earth, and its hybrids and Kei cars each have generation-specific quirks. The original auction sheet confirms exactly which car you're getting and what condition Japan's inspector recorded.
Why verify a Honda?
Honda's engines are famously durable, so buyers pay a premium for clean examples — which makes verifying grade and mileage well worth the small fee.
Finding your Honda chassis number
Honda uses short chassis codes such as GK3 (Fit) or RU1 (Vezel). The full chassis number appears on the export certificate, under the bonnet, and on the door-jamb plate.

What to check on a Honda
- Hybrids (Fit Hybrid, Vezel Hybrid): the i-DCD dual-clutch generation had known issues — confirm the model year on the sheet.
- N-Box and other Kei cars: check import-eligibility rules for your country and confirm the 660cc class on the sheet.
- Type R / performance models: look for W (repair-wave) clusters that hint at track use or repaint.
- Compare mileage to interior wear — Fits are common fleet cars.
