　金融庁が、トヨタ自動車の完全子会社で自動車販売のトヨタモビリティ東京（東京）に対し、保険業法に基づく立ち入り検査を実施していることが２２日、分かった。旧ビッグモーター（ＢＭ）による保険金の不正請求問題を受け、過去に不正が発覚したトヨタモビリティ東京についても実態把握が必要と判断したとみられる。（2024/10/22-23:14）

Japan's Financial Services Agency is conducting an on-site inspection of car sales company Toyota Mobility Tokyo Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corp., based on the insurance business law, it has been learned.
   According to informed sources, the agency judged that it needed to launch a probe into the Toyota unit, which has been found with misconducts in the past, following the fraudulent insurance claims scandal involving then used car dealer Bigmotor Co.
   In 2020, Toyota Mobility Tokyo was found to have padded the bills of vehicle painting costs and other expenses. In 2021, an audit by the transport ministry's Kanto District Transport Bureau shed light on the company's vehicle inspection irregularities.
   The FSA in its ongoing probe is investigating whether any misconducts are still being committed.
   In related moves, the financial industry watchdog is conducting on-site inspections of Tokyo-based Idom Inc., which operates Gulliver used car dealers, and Good Speed Co., a used car dealer based in the central Japan city of Nagoya, both on suspicion of fraudulent auto insurance claims.
