impossible to check if odometer has been rolled back in VIC.

[Tickford.]

yes, i believe it is. or is there really a simple method?

thinking of buying a BA privately and I've done all the online checks I can think of (PPSR, revs, car facts, etc). but none of them will tell me the kilometre history of the car, even though car facts and revs said they would.

the online checks say the ba is all clear. it has 93k on it and owner says genuine and has books. but that's easy to bodge up too. just want to be 100% sure, but how?

a visit to the vicroads office today was a waste of time too. there's nothing you can do to check, either online, or through an government agent's office if a car's odometer has been rolled back?? no one has records? no wonder there's so much of this going on.

the only thing that might give some answers is the ford dealer computer. did forum a search and apparently a BA under 100k can have it's odometer wound back 3 times. if over 100k it's still possible but not so easy. and it would also pick up if the cluster has been changed. is this correct?

to do a ford dealer check obviously you would need the car, and probably cost a fortune too. but what if you want to make sure the km's are correct before looking at the car? seems the only way to get some answers is a pre-purchase check and the dealer computer method. but both are no guaranteed method either.


oops, should have posted this in the pub, not the bar. sorry.
