Buying a used car from photos and a spec sheet alone is a real concern for overseas buyers. Here is what we actually check on every vehicle before it is cleared for export, and how you can review it yourself before committing.
Every vehicle is checked against its listed mileage, registration date, engine and emission specs before it is approved for shipment — the same fields shown on each listing page, such as mileage, plate date, engine capacity and fuel type.
Yes — see can I inspect the car before it ships? for how buyers can request additional photos, video, or a third-party inspection prior to shipment.
As a concrete example, a 2026 Toyota RAV4 Dual Engine 2.5 CVT 4WD Flagship currently in stock shows its full inspected specs — mileage, registration year, fuel type and engine — on its full listing page.
Once a vehicle passes inspection, it is paired with its export paperwork — see what export documents are included with each shipment? for the full list.
If a vehicle does not meet your country's import age limit, we will flag that before you order — details on what if the car doesn't meet my country's import age limit?
