Toyota Mark II X110 and Verossa import check
JZX110 is the factory model code for the Toyota Mark II X110, also sold in Japan as the Verossa, built for the Japanese market from 2000 to 2004. Other versions carry JZX115, GX110 and GX115. Every genuine car has a chassis (frame) number that starts with its code, such as JZX110-. That number is the one thing that links its Japanese history to its UK records.

Is it a genuine JZX110?
The iR-V and Verossa VR25 are the turbo cars, but non-turbo X110s share the JZX110 code, so check the engine.
Known problems to check on a JZX110
- Drift and track use is common: check for crash repairs, seam welding and bent chassis legs or floor
- Carbon build-up on the direct-injection 1JZ-FSE
- 1JZ-GTE coil packs and boost leaks on turbo cars
- Most have been modified: ask for a list of changes, receipts, and whether the insurer has been told
These are common issues for the model, not facts about any particular car. Ask the seller about each one.
Before you buy
- Turbo cars are the iR-V (Mark II) and VR25 (Verossa): check for the intercooler and the 1JZ-GTE engine code
The JZX110 on a Japanese auction sheet
- The sheet names the car マークII (Mark II) or ヴェロッサ (Verossa).
- An R or RA grade means repaired accident damage. Ask for photos of the repair and have the structure checked.
Most imports were bought at a Japanese auction, and the inspector’s sheet records the grade, mileage and every mark on the body. Ask the seller for it, then run it through our auction sheet translator to read it in English and check the chassis number and mileage against the UK record.
Recalls in Japan for the JZX110 family
Japan publishes every recall with the chassis numbers it covers. Run a recall check with the car’s chassis number to see whether any apply to it.

Kilometres, miles and the first UK MOT
A JZX110 sold new in Japan has a speedometer in kilometres. When it is imported, the speedometer is either converted to miles or left in km, and the first UK MOT should record whichever the dial shows. Mistakes here are common, and they’re where mileage problems hide.
We put the Japanese auction mileage and every UK MOT reading on one timeline and check the crossing: whether the readings agree after converting, whether the km figure was written down as miles, and whether the first UK reading is lower than the car had already done in Japan. See an illustrative example.

JZX110, with JZX115, GX110 and GX115 for other engines or drive layouts. A Japanese-market Toyota Mark II X110 has a frame number that starts with its code, then a hyphen and a serial number. You’ll find it on the V5C and on a plate in the engine bay.

From 2000 to 2004, with the 1JZ-GTE (2491 cc turbo petrol) or 1JZ-FSE (2491 cc naturally aspirated petrol) engines and RWD layout.
What should I check when buying a JZX110?
Drift and track use is common: check for crash repairs, seam welding and bent chassis legs or floor. Carbon build-up on the direct-injection 1JZ-FSE. 1JZ-GTE coil packs and boost leaks on turbo cars. Most have been modified: ask for a list of changes, receipts, and whether the insurer has been told. Turbo cars are the iR-V (Mark II) and VR25 (Verossa): check for the intercooler and the 1JZ-GTE engine code. Also check that the Japanese auction mileage lines up with the first UK MOT, because km and miles are easily mixed up.
Is the Verossa the same as the Toyota Mark II X110?
Yes, under the skin. Japanese makers sold some models under more than one name through different dealer chains. They share chassis codes, so the code can’t tell them apart: the model name on the auction sheet and the badges can.
