According to the Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation at the US Department of Transportation,[2] odometer fraud is a serious crime and important consumer fraud issue. In the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 2002 odometer fraud study, the NHTSA determined that 450,000 vehicles were sold each year with false odometer readings, resulting in a cost of over $1 billion annually to car buyers in the US.[3] In the UK the Office of Fair Trading estimates the annual cost at £500m.[4] ExamplesCommon examples of odometer fraud include situations where someone tampers with the odometer by rolling it back or replacing the odometer and failing to provide the required notice on the vehicle. According to AIM Mobile Inspections,[5] an evaluator of new and used vehicles, the incidence of odometer rollback for the purpose of misrepresenting the mileage of off-lease used vehicles had increased by 30 percent since the beginning of 2011. A Motorcheck analysis of the Irish used car market showed 15% of all used cars for sale are clocked, with 70% of these cars being Diesel engines.[6] PracticesThere are a number of ways in which a vehicle buyer might determine existence of possible odometer fraud. In the US, states require vehicle purchasers to obtain a title or certificate of registration due to federal laws. These titles contain information about a vehicle's odometer history. The information can be accessed through each state's Department of Motor Vehicles. Other options to detect odometer fraud include contacting the vehicle's former owners, conducting a mechanical inspection of the vehicle with particular attention to normal but harmless wear and tear such as to floor-mats and the rubber on pedals (or to suspiciously new such items), and checking the vehicle's history report (see Used car for a list of vehicle history services in different countries). Modern cars often employ digital odometers specially designed to be difficult to tamper. These odometers are considered to be more secure than mechanical odometers, but changes in technology have made it easier to plug into the port and manipulate the reading without taking the unit apart.{{Citation needed|date=February 2019}} References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070713192206/http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/portal/site/nhtsa/template.MAXIMIZE/menuitem.893c19c9fb974f825c420087dba046a0/?javax.portlet.tpst=4670b93a0b088a006bc1d6b760008a0c_ws_MX&javax.portlet.prp_4670b93a0b088a006bc1d6b760008a0c_viewID=detail_view&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&itemID=3d57f7efc9ab8010VgnVCM1000002c567798RCRD&overrideViewName=Article|title=Odometer Fraud {{!}} National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) {{!}} U.S. Department of Transportation|date=2007-07-13|website=web.archive.org|access-date=2019-03-10}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100302141910/http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/portal/site/nhtsa/menuitem.893c19c9fb974f825c420087dba046a0/|title=Odometer Fraud {{!}} National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) {{!}} U.S. Department of Transportation|date=2010-03-02|website=web.archive.org|access-date=2019-03-10}} 3. ^Preliminary Report: The Incidence Rate of Odometer Fraud, 7 October 2013. 4. ^[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12917081 BBC: Customers duped by car-clocking], 31 March 2011. 5. ^NYT: With Off-Lease Cars, Firm Sees Increase in Odometer Tampering, 3 October 2011. 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/life/motoring/warning-on-surge-in-clocked-cars-35407635.html|title=Warning on surge in 'clocked' cars|last=|first=|date=30 January 2017|work=Irish Independent|access-date=6 September 2017|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} Resources
