Some second-hand car dealer in order to obtain higher profits, often illegal profits by modifying the number of miles, so that owners can not judge by the number of vehicles insured mileage parameters, component maintenance period, do not know when the normal maintenance and other troubles.

In fact, BMW factory in 2013 began developing a "vehicle odometer data protection technology", the technology has to prevent human modification mileage data functions. The actual distance data is recorded in a plurality of vehicle control unit; in terms of hardware, the card loading, sealing and other physical protection measures of the electronic device, but also allows modification of the mileage data difficult. In order to effectively prevent tampering illegal profit of second-hand car dealer vehicle mileage data, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers of used cars. Ancel website
Although BMW did a protection, but there are criminals odometer modification through technical means, how ordinary car owners to identify modified odometer, the total number of kilometers on the right side of the diagram represents the dots have modified the odometer.
This method is for informational purposes only, in order to obtain the most accurate mileage and vehicle specific information, it is recommended to the 4S shop, usually found can give you the relevant details.

1, the steering wheel steering wheel wear is the highest of car parts, because the non-stop rotation, it will leave a deeper imprint unconsciously, although some owners trying to replace the steering wheel cover to cover wear and tear of the steering wheel, but very few people, after all, replace the steering wheel, so in any case, a lot of wear marks can not be hidden. in addition, the surface of the central armrest, shift lever and other parts of shedding is to determine the true number of miles one of the bases, if the surface began to fall, this is not a three fifty thousand kilometers will be able to achieve the degree of wear. Abrasion wheel
2, the steering wheel and seat wear as the vehicle seat is one of the most commonly used member, after a long period of sitting pressure seat elasticity decreased significantly aging, the dermis is worn will be shiny, stiff If there are signs of seats updated, it shows the car's mileage is indispensable. In addition, the car's plastic knob to adjust the paddles, if the mileage long enough, more than enough to explain the frequency of use, and that the surface becomes smooth and shiny, Important to note is that some cunning sellers and intermediaries may have given advance car interiors thick sprayed on table board wax, so that when consumers screening misjudgment. Wear seat
3, brake pad wear under normal circumstances do, brake disc life is about more than 100,000 kilometers. And if a car opened five years but very new brakes, the car that will certainly replace the brakes, it means that the car is definitely kilometers traveled more than 100,000 kilometers. At the same time we have to understand, the greater the number of kilometers traveled, the greater engine wear, engine sealing will be worse, which will directly lead to oil spills situation such as occurred. Brake pad wear
4, tire wear is judged by the number of miles the tire wear can be described as one of the most intuitive way, and in the purchase of a used vehicle, carefully review each tires to see if they have a flat tire tread edge edgeless this case, if the four appear tire situation, new and used, then the car is likely because of an accident and was forced to replace the tires, but this approach applies only to short year used car, the age of the vehicle for longer car it is quite difficult to judge by tire mileage.
5, the interior degree of aging longer mileage, the more severe the degree of aging interior of this is we all know, so a car's interior can travel newness is basically proportional with mileage vehicles, due to the interior the replacement cost is large, so even want to tinker with, very few people will replace all interior parts. Interior aging
6, maintenance records go 4S shop maintenance records inquiry is to determine the car's mileage easiest way, but only for the car is still under warranty, those vehicle warranty period has passed, we can go to the insurance company Search record insurance policy.
7, the last models to determine tips, most people I did not tell him Yo, that is based on models to determine, it is understood, generally about private car traveling about 25,000 kilometers per year, while the official car mileage up to 40,000 km , so we just look at a used car's true year of manufacture, you can probably estimate the car's actual mileage, and vehicle age with particular attention to the kind of long but short mileage used car, there are basically tricky .
How to judge models, these identification odometer method is not very practical it, if everyone is worried that limited their ability to identify, then get a professional appraiser, let you rest assured of one hundred to buy a used car, car quality security
