We import Japanese vehicles from time to time and we use this service to check for potential problems on those cars, mainly we have the cars inspected prior to export but you can also order the history alone:
Japanese stolen car, History of my car from japan, Online Japanese car registry, Japan service history for cars, Japanese used car exporters, Car service history for Japanese cars
For questions regarding your order you can email them at:

If you think making sure a car has not been tampered with in the DR is a problem, you have no idea how bad this is in Japan...
Let's just say Japanese DON'T buy used cars as we're used to unless they're certified from the same car maker dealers.
But if you think it's like the lemons in the US and UK, think again, the roads in Japan are a dream to drive on... Most of the damages are from theft and crashes (fender benders). The rest is from kids doing crazy stuff to emulate the movies and racers.
The best deals are the SUV's and sport vehicles. They seldom if ever are driven away from smooth roadways in Japan. You can get 3 times as much life from an used SUV imported from Japan, than one that looks like new from the USA or UK (where people don't drive regular SUVs in the cities, save for the high end types)
