Mileage Accuracy Check - Rollbacks vs. rollovers

Question
Mileage Accuracy Check - Rollbacks vs. rollovers

Answer
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading, then the odometer may have been "rolled back." This may be an indicator of mileage fraud. However, in older vehicles, what appears to be a rollback may, in fact, be an odometer rollover. Some older vehicles are equipped with odometers with only five digits. When the vehicle’s mileage passes from 99,999 miles to 100,000, the odometer actually rolls over to read 00000. This is a rollover. The odometer readings following a rollover may be missing the sixth digit in front of the first five digits. For example, the reading on the Vehicle History Report will read 24,567, when the actual mileage for that vehicle is probably 124,567.

Under the Truth-in-Mileage Act of 1986, rollovers must be reported to a Department of Motor Vehicles when ownership is transferred. When a rollover is disclosed, the DMV issues an Exceeds Mechanical Limits title for that vehicle.
