Vehicle Grading System

All vehicles exported by Trust Company Ltd. under go a standardized Quality Control inspection at our Nagoya Port PDI facility, to ensure the vehicle's quality and to inform you of any defects such as scratches or tire condition. Inspection is carried out upon arrival of the vehicle in our holding center. Each vehicle is graded, according to Trust Company Ltd's quality grading system, and photos are then taken for display on the website.

GRADING SYSTEM

Grade 6 As good as new.
Grade 5 Excellent to Almost new condition. Vehicle is in Top Condition, No scratches or dents.
Grade 4 Very Good condition. Very few slight scratches/ dents as you would get with any used vehicle. Nothing major at all.
Grade 3.5 Vehicle is in similar to Grade 4's condition, but may have a few more visible scratches or dents.
Grade 3 Good condition (No mechanical or electronic damages). Various scratches or dents.
Grade 2 Rough/ Poor condition. Repairs may be required. Some obvious scratches, dents and body panels may require replacement or repairs.
Grade 1 Vehicle is in accident damaged condition. Repairs will be required to exterior, and maybe engine/interior.

As each vehicle is supplied in used condition, it is recommended that the following maintenance and service be carried out upon arrival:

  • Change oil and oil filters
  • Check tires, change as required to meet local standards
  • A full maintenance service
  • A complete valet
  • Check brake pads and CV Joints, change as required to meet local standards
