Mileage evolution
See the available mileage values, ordered by the date they were recorded.
Possible inconsistencies
We flag drops or unusual differences between the values recorded over time.
Information from multiple sources
We compare the data available from several automotive sources, depending on the coverage for each vehicle.
Risks of buying a car with altered mileage
Maintenance done at the wrong time
Incorrect mileage can affect the scheduling of services and the replacement of important components.
More wear than you expect
The condition of the engine, transmission and other components may not match the kilometres shown on the dashboard.
An incorrect purchase price
Mileage influences the value of a car. An altered value can create a false impression of the real price.
Resale problems
Mileage inconsistencies can reduce the trust of future buyers and the resale value of the car.
Frequently asked questions about mileage checks
How can I tell if the mileage has been altered?
Compare the values recorded over time. A drop in kilometres or an unusual difference between two records can indicate a possible alteration, but it can also come from a reporting error.
Can the seller change the data in the Certcar report?
No. The information shown is taken from the available sources and cannot be edited by the seller or the user in the Certcar report.
What should I do if the report shows an inconsistency?
Ask the seller for explanations and documents, compare the information with the service history and have the car checked at an authorised workshop before deciding to buy.
