What is a odometer check?

An odometer check lines up reported mileage readings from title transfers, service records, and inspections. Because legitimate readings only ever increase, a later reading that is lower than an earlier one is a strong signal the odometer was rolled back.

What the report shows

  • Reported odometer readings with their dates
  • Rollback and tampering alerts where a reading dropped
  • Mileage disclosures recorded at title transfer
  • Inconsistencies between reported readings

Odometer check — FAQ

How does an odometer check catch fraud?

It gathers reported readings by date. If a newer reading is lower than an older one, the mileage was almost certainly rolled back.

Is odometer rollback illegal?

Yes. Rolling back an odometer is a federal crime, but it still happens on both mechanical and digital dashboards — which is why you check the records.
