Odometer adjustment identification method

Here, families should note that any method is not used in a single way, and needs to be judged by combining multiple situations.

01

Check the maintenance records of 4S shops

Go directly to the 4S shop to check the maintenance record of the car, or you can check it on the software. is the simplest and most intuitive way to do it. As long as this car has been repaired or maintained in a 4S shop, it can be queried from the maintenance record, and you only need to look at the mileage displayed on the maintenance record of the car in the 4S shop recently, and then compare the current mileage to determine whether it is a meter adjustment car.

For many cars that do not have a complete 4S shop maintenance record, it is necessary to judge the reasonableness of the mileage according to the last record. For example, there is a car, the record shows that it has driven 90,000 kilometers in 3 years, with an average of 30,000 kilometers per year; Another 1 year has passed when the car was sold, but the mileage has only increased by 5,000 kilometers, so the car is very suspicious of meter adjustment.

Steering wheel and pedals

The steering wheel and pedals are one of the most frequently used components in driving and are an important reference for judging mileage.

First of all, look at whether there is obvious color difference on both sides of the edge that the steering wheel cover can protect, if the color difference is obvious, it must be a long-term use of the steering wheel cover.

You can directly see the places that the steering wheel cover cannot protect, such as the middle part and the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. In addition to pulping and peeling, you can also check whether the plastic parts on the steering wheel have lost paint. The level of wear is based on the 200,000 km steering wheel below.

The degree of wear and tear of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and clutch pedal also reflects the frequency of use of the vehicle. Try to clean up the dust as much as possible, and look at the depth of the lines on the pedals. It is also possible to determine the mileage situation.

03

The degree of tire wear

Be sure to look at all four tires at the same time and how old and new they are. The average mileage of car tires is about 50,000 kilometers. If the tires of the vehicle are flat or have no edges and corners, the car has already run a lot of miles. If the tyres are all replaced, the kilometres can also be calculated in combination with the wear and tear and the date of the tyres.

04

The degree of wear and tear on the interior

The longer the mileage, the more aging the interior becomes.

You can focus on checking the dust jacket under the gear lever of the vehicle, the door panel and wrench, the function keys of the center console, the armrest box, the wear and shine on the edge of the seat, so as to roughly judge the mileage of the vehicle, and the degree of interior of a car is basically proportional to the mileage of the vehicle.

Generally speaking, within 100,000 kilometers of the steering wheel seat handle, basically there is no wear, but after 100,000 kilometers, 12, 13 like this, the steering wheel gear handle will begin to wear out, the seat is the same, basically about 50,000 miles equal to the new car, within 100,000 is almost zero wear, 10-15 began to have slight wear.

Moreover, the replacement cost of the interior is relatively large, and even if the average person wants to make the vehicle look newer, they will rarely replace all the interior parts. However, some of the plastic parts of the meter adjustment car will be refurbished, so don't be blinded by the shiny surface.

Driven by interests, in the second-hand car transaction, the meter adjustment car is a phenomenon that has been repeatedly prohibited, so we need to keep our eyes open and improve our awareness of prevention. As much as possible, choose second-hand vehicles sold in the formal trading market, sign a detailed written contract with the seller, clarify the vehicle performance, actual mileage, configuration and vehicle age and other information, and carefully inspect the vehicle. After purchasing a vehicle, once it is found that the vehicle information is inconsistent with the contract, it is necessary to keep the relevant evidence of sales publicity and guarantee at the time of purchase, as well as the relevant bills and contracts for the purchase of the car, so as to facilitate the use of rights protection and avoid obstacles to rights protection.
