Has something to do with yearly taxes on caRs in Japan I believe. I think they go up progressively higher every year and most people replace caRs frequently.
That's what I was led to believe for a while now.
Someone correct me.

Re: ITR graveyard (HybridHatch88)
The Japanese government discourages people to own cars more than 5-6 years through a tier based "shaken" (technical car examination) system - the older the car is the more "shaken" tax you have to pay. Basically this system encourages people to buy new cars since shaken taxes vary greatly depending on the age of the car.
The Shaken is the mandatory vehicle inspection required by the national government department of motor vehicles in Japan.
In Japan cars are sold to their owners with 'shaken', a combination of safety inspection, compulsory insurance, proof of parking space, weight tax and vehicle tax that is valid for three years. To renew 'shaken' is costly (an average of about 850 - 1000 pounds) this can vary according to the size of the car and is also time consuming. It involves putting the car through meticulous inspection process like a pit inspection here as well as having to replace even slightly worn parts and prove things such as proof of parking permit etc. This lasts you 2 years, then it's the same again until you buy a new car… For the driver, the 'shaken' and government taxes make regular new cars an economical proposition and in the competitive Japanese market dealerships provide customers with further incentives to return their current cars as trade ins. So, when the 'shaken' expires after 3, 5, 7 or 9 years most cars are traded. This factor explains why only an eccentric person would consider keeping any car longer than five or seven years, regardless of its objective condition. The lack of domestic demand for second hand leaves dealers holding lot good quality second hand cars. Low demand and a high endless supply, force these cars to be sold cheaply at auction - in fact very cheaply, and this is where our opportunity arises for the UK to import these cars.
This is very similar to the UK M.O.T. the common thing they are tested for are listed below :
Brake lights
Turn signals
Reverse lights
Wipers
Washer spray
Horn
Speedometer accuracy
Front brakes
Rear brakes
Headlight aim
Exhaust gas test (CO, NOx)
Front wheel alignment and steering
Frame and suspension integrity

Move to Japan and become a Speedometer Accuracy tester. That is all.
