[16th December 2022, USA] According to figures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), odometer fraud costs American car owners more than $1 billion annually. According to NHTSA, odometer fraud is the "disconnection, resetting, or manipulation of a vehicle's odometer to manipulate the indicated number of miles.

Do you want to be sure of how to check car mileage? Look at the title. Every vehicle changes hands; the mileage must be accurately documented on the title. When buying the car, compare the mileage reading with the most recent notation and note any differences. 

Look for any alterations. The odometer may have been tampered with if you see loose screws or scratch marks close to the dashboard.

Examine the maintenance logs. Dishonest auto salespeople can falsify mileage thanks to reprogrammed digital odometers. You might have an issue if the mileage noted in maintenance and oil change records differs from the displayed mileage. Verify the tires. The original tires should still be on a more recent vehicle with fewer than 20,000 miles on the odometer. Your newer vehicle's tires may differ, which could indicate a mileage disparity. Check for deterioration. The clutch, brake, and gas pedals are a few parts that exhibit wear and tear that you might not typically see. Worn pedal edges may indicate high mileage. Brake systems, windshield wipers, and other moving elements are additional worn items that may be an indication of wear. You can frequently find maintenance labels with a date and mileage notation on window and door frames, in the glove box, or underneath the hood.
