Why Used Japanese Trucks Are Reliable and Long-Lasting

Have you ever wondered why used trucks from Japan are known for their reliability and longevity? The secret lies in a system called "Shaken," which translates to "vehicle inspection" in Japanese. This mandatory annual inspection ensures that Japanese trucks are safe and well-maintained, contributing significantly to their exceptional lifespan.

Here's how Shaken works:

• Every commercial vehicle in Japan must undergo the first Shaken inspection within a specific timeframe after registration.

• Subsequent inspections are required every two years.

• During the inspection, qualified mechanics thoroughly examine various aspects of the truck, including brakes, lights, steering, emissions, and tires.

• If the truck passes the inspection, it receives a sticker for the windshield, indicating its roadworthiness. Trucks that fail must be repaired and re-inspected before being allowed back on the road.

Why is Shaken important?

• Enhanced Safety: Shaken identifies and addresses potential safety concerns before they can lead to accidents.

• Reduced Emissions: Regular inspections ensure trucks operate efficiently, minimizing their environmental impact.

• Extended Lifespan: By catching problems early on, Shaken helps extend the lifespan of your truck, saving you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.

Benefits for Businesses:

• Peace of Mind: Purchasing a used Japanese truck provides confidence in its quality and safety.

• Lower Operating Costs: Well-maintained trucks require fewer repairs, reducing your overall operating expenses.

• Increased Productivity: Reliable trucks minimize downtime and ensure your business runs smoothly.
