There are several odometers in a car. The main odometer is in the ECU (electrical control unit). Some new cars with ABS system can have another odometer on the ABS controller. Some even have odometers in LED HL and RL controllers (new cars have seperate ECU to control these). So basically you can check odometer from different areas to see if they match. But keep in mind that these can also be reprogrammed however usually the first one reprogrammed is the main ECU and they do not bother to touch others.

I have purchased quite a few used cars. The thing I always look for is whether the condition of the car matches the odometer reading. Also having service records is a plus and buying models owned by older people. Having tinkered with cars for years I can usually tell if they have been in an accident. It is a gamble buying used but generally I have gotten decent cars. Got burned a bit on my first car when I was in high school but that experience taught me what to look for so it was not a total loss.

Always good to have a mechanic look at it before buying. Preferably a shop that also does collision work because a good body man knows what to look for. I've bought & found many good vehicles for friends & family over the years. I grew up working on cars. The first thing I do is look under the vehicle for leaks, rust, damage etc. Look at the seams & body lines to insure gaps are even. Under the hood check to see bolts , plastic, weatherstrip is all there & looks original. Take it for a good highway test drive & watch the temperature gauge and oil pressure. You're about to spend thousands. Make sure it's right because once you sign the paper There's No Going Back.

In the 60's 70's and thru the 90's it was easy to see if an odometer had been altered because in most cases the digits would not line up perfectly. With later model, digital odometers it was just a matter of time before criminals got one step ahead of us and figure how to outsmart technology and used car purchasers. Be aware---

In the old days the dishonest sellers used to remove the mechanical speedometer and use a service tool to roll back the odometer. With the electric odometers it is possible to buy a specialized electronic odometer adjustment tool to roll back the odometer. The idea of this tool was to be able to re-calibrate back to the proper reading when the instruments have to be serviced. It was not intended to be used for dishonest use. -- When I was a kid back in the 50s, I remember a neighbor of ours put a rental car up on blocks and left it run in revers for over an hour to take off some millage on it. With many of the new cars they are smart to this. Being computerized they measure the distance forward and reverse. The odometer distance is reflected on a number of computer boards in the vehicle. Many of the vehicles transmit to the manufacture their status using data packets over the mobile phone network and over the Bluetooth connection in your phone if your phone is linked. When I go to the dealer for servicing my vehicle they can see the distance I drive when I am checking in the vehicle for service. If someone was to tamper with the odometer this would not change the reading the manufacture received. Where I live it is illegal to tamper with the odometer reading.

Regardless as a smart consumer it's the person's responsibility to double check the purchase, in real estate you can add contingencies to back out of a deal in case something comes up during the due diligence phase. I also own a car rental fleet and I'm constantly rotating cars because I maintain them 1000% even though they have high mileage people buy them Regardless because they see the proof I provide and I also let them take the cars to personal mechanic for more reassurance. Granted that's why I said 80% of consumers are stupid also buying cheap cars doesn't matter because it's still going to give out. I understand something with 100k vs 500k but I know for a fact those people selling cars with rigged miles DONT TAKE CARE OF THEM. So if I were them I would lower the miles make it "look" good and sell with all the issues. Let the consumer deal with it.

My grandparents drove their 1976 Caprice for 33 years, before they finally traded it off in 2009. Those older cars really lasted, but I'm sure they put a couple engines and probably a transmission in it over those years. All components eventually wear out and need replacing.

in the UK we have a yearly test on a vehicle it is called the MOT and the miles it has done is recorded and you can go on line and check the mileage but even that can be got around

I remember my brother was trading in a BMW 320 I in the early 80’s and the salesman questioned the validity of the mileage because the excessive wear on the the brake and gas pedal. The salesperson was correct.

Was looking at a Corvette online with 50,000 + miles. Saw the worn seat, worn out buttons on dash, steering wheel rash and that was all I had to see. Moving on.

Actually good tips! Great report

I remember 60 Minutes had a segment about rolled back odometers, but this was probably 25 or 30 years ago.

U can’t tell especially with modern cars. When I replace pcms I have to manually input the exact mileage. Sure the mileage is stored in other modules but for cjdr vehicles the mileage displayed on the instrument cluster is read from the PCM itself. I could simply launch my scan tool, write the odometer in my wife’s minivan to 0 if I wanted too. Repair history in my opinion is the best answer to uncover mileage.

As a mechanic I’m recommending as usually 1. Before you purchase a car take a mobile inspector 2. We not buying mileage we buying the actual condition on the car what the service history can prove it. 3. Asking when and where was the last oil change and if was bigger company possible same places was earlier too and asking the service history about it. 4. Of course 1-2-3G cars are not worth the efforts but usually newer cars or and way more expensive cars involved 5. Many times people don’t want cheating just possibly the odometer units are damaged somehow. Just example that odometers has sometimes pretty tricky led lights and replacing just one led cost way more with a specialist than replacing the complete unit.

Not sure how rust proves the odometer reading to be rolled back. In a state like new jersey where the seasons change, where your car has in imperfection wikl turn to rust. The scrwes and bolts under the hood will rust. Has nothing to do with the odometer

All you have to do is look at the condition of the interior seats / steering wheel they tend to wear over high miles

Good to know

The first thing I ask for is the service records. If they don't have any, I'll pass. There are a lot of people that deliberately NEVER change the oil. If they say they don't keep the records of service, ask where service is done and verify mileage that way. If the seller refuses, you'll know why. Also, go to a dealer for that make and ask for their service records. Warranty and all repairs will have records with mileage. Sames goes for any shop. I'll go through the glove box, consoles and under the seats. You'd be surprised at the information you can find there, even at dealers. Be sure to check inside the owners manual too.

I remember back in the 70’s and early 80’s how easy it was to disconnect the speedometer wire from a vehicle. So the rumor goes.🤫

The number of miles is not as important as how those miles were put on. A car that was driven around town most of the time will have more wear than a car that spent most of its time on the highway. My 1995 Mustang as 85,000 true miles on it, but over half of those miles were put on at a study 70mph on I-5. It is in VERY good condition mechanically.

No, maintenance has a lot to do with how good a car will be into the future, but its an easy to understand metric for the average consumer that isn't a professional technician.

California has 10x the number of cars. It probably has 10x everything car-related, with the possible exception of rust.

@@jpdemer5 You're right. Actually California has twice the number of cars than Texas, but not twice the number of rolled odometers. So Texas is number #1 proportionally with this crime, but the trolls on KZread will blame democratic states for leading in anything like this. It's just stupid. I guess it's Newsome's fault that Texas has a bigger problem than California.

Very simple to check just ask the last data of maintence of the vehicle and where had been done, and check the record if it is match to the odometer of the and shop who services the car.

They will happily provide that for you😂

You could just pull a speed sensor out of a volvo and drive it without putting miles on it. Speedometer still works even. I forgot to plug mine back in when doing the bearings.

So you can remove the speed sensor to mess with the odometer?

It's very rare I end up buying one with under 200k miles and I dont pay more than $2k for a vehicle so I've pretty well dodged this bullet lol.

Could you please put the link to check the odometer here. Thank you.

Or buy a use car ftom someone you know

in europe , just check the motor vehicle last emmision registration and they will tell you how many km in the last records..

Just Buy a 10 Year old Toyota That has had proper Maintenance and a minimum of care and the Mileage won't matter it will last another 10 Years they are that Reliable.

Lol this video shows entire world how to roll back mileage and where to get tools needed.

Is Emilie Voss available? What a beauty.....

What is the site address for checking odometer rollback young lady ?? Thanks

That's why we have a seller package here every year you have to give your odometer reading you can not transfer ownership until you purchase one

Is not just the physical odometer itself either... I had a vehicle that had a replacement transmission put in AND re-registered with 100k LESS miles than what it had

You know what’s bad about this? Cam chains need to be done and timing belts need to be done at a certain time. Waiting too long on an interference engine can destroy the motor if the belt or chain goes.

thats why you take the car to a mechanic to run tests on the car to see if anything is modified

If the car has wear on the driver seat or carpets that just doesn't match the mileage the odometer was likely rolled back or it had a very careless previous owner.. walk away and keep looking!

so basicaly we can never tell great!!

Lets hear it for Digital!! You want it you got it.

Rollbacks aside, odometer miles are a trivial aspect of a car's condition unless it's like 50k vs 500k. I don't even really care what the odometer says, I look over a car and if the car is in good shape at a fair price, I'll buy it. Cars can be idled for hours and hours and driven through the worst road salt winter after winter and show 25k on the odometer but be junk, meanwhile a traveling salesman that puts tons of highway miles on a car in the South might be like new even with 200k+ on it and is just getting broken in. Condition condition condition, forget the odometer. Also, for many cars even throwing in a new engine/trans is easier and cheaper than fixing a destroyed interior and crusty frame.

Is any way can I check if the odometer in my car is the real one

Whoa 🤯 never thought that this was going to happen 😮lol

wow, good to know. And I thought it was not possible to rollback electronic odometers. Other things to check. If factory screws and bolts have been replaced in areas such as body panels, hinges, plastics. The factory usually paints these fasteners too, so its easier to tell if they've been replaced. This is a sign of an accident. I've been to many used car dealers and at least 50% of the cars that supposedly had no accidents cleary had parts replaced. I called them out on these and they played "dumb." Yeah right! I walked out immediately. I'm not falling for those tricks. If they're not honest with that what else are they holding out on?

Is this report saying that the cars of 25 years ago with their mechanical odometers were much harder to turn back?

In Canada, Car dealers and Salespeople are required to be licensed in order to be car salespersons or car dealers.

They’re also getting cars that had low mileage and totaled in an accident instrumentation clusters and swapping them

There are a lot of scumbag criminals out here..

yes, but what with drivers who buy the car, exchange oil and do maintenance o na side.... then change odometer.... it is not possible to track them no way.

The title says how many miles was on the car when person bought it, every title says close or within 5k-20k depending on how much person drove it after purchase

I looked at a 2011 Ford Ranger with 40k miles on it. Decided against it since I suspected it had more miles due to the wear I saw.

Not really addressing the odometer roll back beside carfax reporting, However, not all cars are within Carfax Database

No lie I worked for an equipment company that rolled hours off machines for months at a time, refurbished them and sold them at auctions for years, probably to this day.

Back in the 1980's had a BMW 3 series. The speedometer along with the odometer failed which was replaced under warranty. The dealer put a sticker with the previous milage on the door jamb. This was in the days of mechanical odometers. Seems a lot of these issues are in poorly regulated RED states to where consumer laws are lax.
