Is there anyway you can see if your car odometer has been wound back! When I look at it none of the numbers line up. Thanks

that can happen to anything.
I look for: ~ broken clips, burred/missing screws needing to be tampered with to remove the speedo cluster. ~ Abnormal wear patterns, eg worn brake pedal on a car with only 60,000km. Same with upholstery and steering wheel. ~ Other things that may give away the milage, eg cambelt next due at 190,000km sticker when car only has 60,000km on it ~ Carjam report, study the milage records for any inconsistencies in the recorded milages (remember that WOF inspectors can mis-type the numbers so take that into consideration if there are odd numbers, also remember that these records are only for when the car has been in NZ) ~ Are any of the digits on the odometer scratched from something like a pick or screwdriver!
Ultimately its the condition of the car that matters, milage is just an indicator of what to expect and not necessarily what the actual car condition is.
