Foresterho 1st Gear November 15, 2023 Share November 15, 2023 Hi All, is there anyway to check for Mileage Tampering? Bringing to a workshop and plugging in to check work? As I had been looking around for a used vehicle and seems like all Singaporeans don't really drive. Alot or most of the postings drives are about 10k lesser per year. Not sure how true it is ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way is u know where the car is service at previously. If at AD then best. Call it to check the previous servicing mileage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrlancergtx 5th Gear November 15, 2023 Share November 15, 2023 I just saw my old car (less than 15k on the odo , first owner brand new car) being rounded down by 500kms in the ad posted by the dealer. Not sure if it's a typo, but I highly suspect otherwise 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0y0ta Supercharged November 15, 2023 Share November 15, 2023 High mileage car may be better condition than low mileage. If owner got take care And the miles are easy cruising on expressway Don't just look at odo, also inspect the car thoroughly. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If owner got take care And the miles are easy cruising on expressway Don't just look at odo, also inspect the car thoroughly. There is another myth. A 1 owner car is better then a multi owner car Ask yourself if u are a new used car owner. Or u just brought a used car. What do u do. Most driver would spend 1-2 k or even more to touch up the used car they brought. So a multi owner car. Every time that car change hand. The new owner spend money touch up / repair Compare to a 1 owner car. Drive the car say 7 years. Know exactly all the damages. Keep dragging and dragging . Then sell that car. U buy it, u are the 2nd owner only. But all the haven't repair damages pass to u straight away. Edited November 15, 2023 by Beregond 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellandross Supersonic November 15, 2023 Share November 15, 2023 The new owner of my previous car returned to my regular workshop. The technician told me the mileage received a generous 50% discount. So that's probably a good guidance on how much is the discounted vs actual mileage for used cars in general. In short, set the right expectation when you buy a 2nd hand car and move on. Else go for AD-certified used cars with documented service records but cost slightly more. Cheap or good. You can only choose one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how true it is if still being serviced by AD then tampering less likely. also request for car inspection by AA for overall condition. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
