Asked by Andy
Someone wants to sell my sister a 2001 Nissan Pulsar, which she has been told has only done 30,000 kilometres. Is this possible without the odometer being tampered with? I feel that something is not right.
Answered by CarsGuide
23 Dec 2016You are right to be suspicious when on average a car of that age would have done well over 200,000 km. Check the car's service book to see when and at what odometer readings the car has been serviced since it was new. That should give you an idea if the odometer is correct. With so little use it should be pristine inside with little wear on the seats and the carpets.
