Full inspection

At the full inspection, we perform over 150 checks and verify the vehicle's documentation. On completion, we compile a detailed report on all the checks that have been performed and advise our clients accordingly. If the results comply with the standards, we will issue a certificate and optionally stick our compliance sticker on the vehicle's windscreen.

To spot a wrong vehicle is difficult. With our full inspection, you can buy a vehicle with confidence that it will be roadworthy and meet all the manufacturers standards.

QISJ and radiation safety:

As Japan continues to struggle from the effects of March 11 2011 earthquake and tsunami, one of the biggest issues facing Japan has been the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daichi power plant. Radiation from the plant has been found in various products with no exception to the automobiles. Radiation fears have prompted QISJ to begin testing all vehicles for radiation prior to export.

To make sure the vehicle inspected is radiation free or that the level of radiation conforms with the safety standards, we perform additional radiation checks on the vehicle's wipers, grill and tyres.

Stolen vehicle check

Every year thousands of vehicles are stolen. Most of these vehicles are exported abroad. As part of our inspection procedure, we perform a vehicle identity check to ensure that the vehicle's identity has not been tempared with and that the vehicle has not been reported as stolen.
