How to Identify If the Mileage of a Used Car Has Been Tampered With?
1 Answers
Methods to identify if the mileage of a used car has been tampered with include: 1. Check the wear and tear on the accelerator pedal, clutch pedal, and brake pedal, which can generally indicate the vehicle's mileage. If the tread patterns are completely worn out, the mileage is likely over 100,000 kilometers; 2. Inspect the vehicle's OBD port for looseness or signs of use; 3. Visit a same-brand 4S dealership to look up the vehicle's last maintenance record, comparing the recorded mileage during maintenance with the condition at the time of transaction for any obvious discrepancies; 4. For vehicles that have passed the warranty period, you can check with the insurance company, as the insurance policy may also contain some mileage records.
