Do the Japanese have to sell their engines or junk their cars at a particular mileage or time? No, the Japanese do not have to sell their engines or junk their cars once a certain mileage or time has been reached. The Japanese Car Inspection, or Sha-ken as it is called in Japan, determines whether a vehicle is cost-effective to keep. Sha-ken is a detailed bi-annual inspection that is very expensive, especially for older cars that may not pass. The owner is penalized heavily for any failures. The U.S. Department of Commerce can give you more information on this topic.
The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
