How would you solve the problem? I would propose four very simple measures a) Inspection includes odometer reading b) When sale is done, mileage is entered as part of the change of ownership process with ex- owner being held liable to enter it correctly (ie - with the force of a statutory declaration c) When renewing road-tax must declare mileage d) make the records searchable for a small fee All are simple to implement, with minimal extra fuss. The combined effect would basically entirely eradicate odo tampering on the local market. is this workable?

Huh ? Liddat also can ???? Honda Cars odometers overclocked to be 3.75% off. 100m on odometer is actually only 96.25m No wonder Honda Cars can zhao so far so fast in such a short time.... Maybe also the secret to the wonderful FC that Honda Cars claim to be able to hit. Imagine how they earn... - Rental cars that charge by mileage. - FC claims of being more efficient. - 0-100km speed claims off ? - Cars being sent for servicing much earlier than every 5000km - Warrenty expires at 96.25K km instead of 100K km. (3250km short) It seems that Nissan might also be guilty.... http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/honda-p...cked-odometers/ Honda paying out $6 million for 'overclocked' odometers If you've been wondering how your Honda or Acura just seems to cover ground an awful lot quicker than your previous ride without even getting you a speeding ticket, listen up. Apparently, around six million Honda / Acura owners have been wheeling around in vehicles that are clicking off miles quite a bit faster than they're actually being driven. The Society of Automotive Engineers' voluntary standard for fluctuation in an odometer "is plus or minus 4-percent," and strangely enough, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration doesn't even regulate it. Honda claims that its units were "accurate to within 3.75-percent" on the high side, but a lawsuit against them claims that's just a bit too close for the average consumer's well-being. The automaker will be shelling out over $6 million in overcharges for leasers who were unfairly penalized for exceeding the agreed upon mileage, and will also extend the warranty mileage five-percent. Of course, Honda has since tightened up its standards (read: fixed the programming bug), purportedly "aiming for zero" in regard to future error, but if you happen to own a Honda / Acura purchased between April of 2002 and November of last year (or a select '07 Honda Fit), these benefits should be coming your way pending a district court judgment on the settlement.
