In Japanese used car auctions, each vehicle is assigned a "condition grade," which significantly influences both the vehicle’s condition and its final auction price. In this report, we take an in-depth look at the Toyota Yaris, a model popular among overseas buyers, using the latest auction data from June 18, 2025.
On that day, a total of 703 Yaris units were listed across auction venues nationwide. Of these, 57 units were sold, 3 were under negotiation, and the remaining 643 went unsold. The auction venues with the highest number of listings were USS Tokyo (191 units), followed by USS Nagoya (168 units), MIRIVE Saitama (82 units), USS Osaka (46 units), and USS Sapporo (42 units)—all major venues across Japan.
Among the sold vehicles, the most common condition grade was 4.5 (21 units), with an average winning bid of approximately 1.63 million yen. Vehicles with this grade are in excellent exterior and interior condition, making them ideal for resale. Next was grade 4.0 (12 units), with an average price of about 1.44 million yen, offering a great balance between quality and cost.
A calculated “reliability score” based on condition grade, model year, and number of listings showed that 2022 models with a 4.5 grade achieved the highest score of 0.773. This combination offers a strong mix of modern model year, excellent condition, and sufficient data volume—making it the most reliable choice overall.
| Year | Condition Grade | Number of Listings | Average Winning Bid | Reliability Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 4.5 | 21 units | ¥1,632,952 | 0.773 |
| 2021 | 4.5 | 13 units | ¥1,704,077 | 0.644 |
