Quality Inspection Services Japan (QISJ) has implemented a KES 500 paywall for verified vehicle mileage data, previously accessible for free.

• The requirement to pay KES 500 via nipponcheck.com to view exact mileage data.

• This shift by QISJ is expected to exacerbate odometer fraud and "chassis cloning" in Kenya's used car market.
• Previously, buyers could freely check mileage on the QISJ website to verify vehicle condition, a critical defense against scams.
