An odometer inconsistency is recorded when a later inspection of the same car shows a lower reading than an earlier one – by more than 1,000 km and more than 2%. We show the share of cars of a model, make or year where this happened at least once.
Does an inconsistency mean the mileage was rolled back?
No. It is a reason to check the history, not proof. A reading can drop legitimately – after an instrument cluster or speedometer replacement, which the data cannot see – and data-entry errors happen too.
What does the indicator not show?
It cannot see a rollback done before the car's first inspection in Lithuania (for example before import), and it says nothing about one specific car. Check a particular car's history by VIN.
Where can I compare the shares?
In the odometer inconsistency study by make and year, and on every model page. The calculator and percentiles help judge a specific reading.
