Why does the car display much more mileage than the actual distance traveled?

The inaccurate odometer reading is likely due to an issue with the odometer sensor. Possible causes include internal sensor failure, excessive distance between the sensor and the transmission's induction coil, or the need for adjustment of the vehicle's onboard computer. Since this varies by car model, it's recommended to contact a 4S dealership for inspection. Check the new car's paintwork: Visually inspect the vehicle's paint for scratches and wear. Observe under ample sunlight to check for color discrepancies. Open and adjust doors at various angles to examine sheet metal flatness as light reflects differently. If possible, use a paint thickness gauge for precise measurement. Check the new car's bodywork quality: Inspect uniformity of panel gaps for components like hood, doors, fuel cap, taillights, and headlights. Irregular gaps may indicate replacement parts. Also examine door/window seals for damage to prevent water leakage during rain.
