The claim
2025年1月から軽自動車の自賠責保険、修理費用が170％値上げ
Original review summary
The review found no source for the claimed 170% increases. As of December 25, 2024, whether compulsory insurance rates would be revised in April 2025 was undecided, and an industry group said there was no basis for a sudden, across-the-board 170% increase in repair costs.[S1]
Additional context
The review reports that the 24-month compulsory insurance premium for kei cars fell from ¥21,140 in April 2020 to ¥17,540 in April 2023. [S1]
The image’s tax-burden comparison graph concerned overall vehicle taxes in different countries, not kei-car insurance or repair costs. [S1]
