It means the car has been bought from a dealer 2nd hand at some stage and as such came with a warranty and such like, it also has to meet certain criteria like less than 60k, 5 years old I think something like that.

Its normally the sticker the roadtester in the factory sticks on after the road test on the subaru test track at the factory,had a friend who worked at Honda doing the same job,if it passes it gets a sticker and parked one place if it fails it goes back to the section it failed on untill it passes.

The ok sticker means your car has passed a vehicle inspection & quality control in the FACTORY. It has nothing to do with second hand cars.Many years ago i worked in the nissan factory & all jap car companys same to have the same procedure.

It's a Japanese thing, and didn't used to be restricted to cars. Anyone with an oldish Jap camera will know the little gold stickers with OK on them.

OK means the car was at first rejected by the quality control (generally if the car is dented or been damaged on the production line or the engine didn't work or something like that) but then re-inspected and classified as "OK". 
Hope that answers the question.

then they dropped me at the beguining if this year as the ugly new primera wasnt selling (i was one of the last "temps" to go)
not to bad tho as i got a job asap in the factory next door to nissan who supplies the seats for the cars lol
same job, much more money and much better prospects lmao

Yup, it seems to be a Japanese thing. Cameras, videos and the like that I've bought in the past have all had an 'OK' sticker. As do Nissans, Toyotas, Mazdas.....
