Past trends
The average mileage of used engines in Japan tended to be about 100,000 km.
In Japan, when the mileage of the car became of 100,000 km, so more or less 10 years passed since the vehicle registration, was time “to replace this vehicle”.
At that time, the Japanese economy was in good shape and there were many people who could actually buy a new car with this frequency. So that the were many used engine in the market with a very low mileage, of about 100,000 kilometers.
Future trends
Recently, the perception of “replace the vehicle once the 100,000 km has been reached” has changed: Japanese engines can run without problems even if the mileage exceeds 200,000 km.
This is related to the fact that the Japanese economy is not as good as it used to be. The number of people who can actually buy a new car has decreased and the number of people who take good care of one car for a long time has increased.
In this way, as people’s car replacement cycles have been extended, the mileage the used engine market is also on the rise.
These days, there are many engines with mileages of about 150,000 km.
In Kaiho Industry you can purchase an engine knowing the mileage.

In general, high mileage used engines are more likely to present problems compared to used engines with low mileage. That is the reason everybody wants to buy an used engine with low mileage.
However, there are very few products in the used engine market that provide mileage information.
