Mitsubishi Motors manipulated fuel economy tests for years
Mitsubishi Motors · Automobiles (listed)
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Document authenticity / direct pull
Would have compared test data with regulated methods.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Regulatory & litigation records
Would have found the earlier defect cover-ups.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.
Third-party confirmation
Would have asked the partner for its own test results.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
