If you have one of these, this is  “shaken”, which is kind of a combination of inspection and minimal, mandatory liability insurance. A new car shaken lasts three years. After that, you could get one more three year shaken. After the car is 6 years old, you had to get 2 year shaken’s until the car was 10 years old. After 10 yrs, a new shaken was required every year. A 2 year shaken cost between $800-1500, depending on what the “inspector” decided. Shaken costs could include new brakes, exhaust, etc. are Japanese Ministry of Transportation inspection stickers.

Vehicles in Japan are required to have their vehicles pass a rigorous inspection and repair procedure on a regular basis. This sticker indicates that the last inspection was done in April (4). The 17 indicates Heisei 17, which is the 17th year of the current emperor (1998).
