For these Hungarian cars, the odometer is most often turned back

In modern cars it is much easier to manipulate the odometer, as they do not require physical intervention that can be recognized afterwards. It is therefore understandable that the reset of the mileage is the most common for premium brands, as it is much easier to sell a car with less mileage.

We check the car’s odometer

Due to stricter controls and administration, the used car market has become more transparent in recent years, but many people still can’t stop adjusting the odometer. Mainly the real value of the odometer must be carefully checked for German-made cars – wrote based on carVertical’s research the HVG.

For the fourth time, carVertical, the automotive data service company, has conducted research in Hungary on which brands are turning back the odometer the most.

Not really common car in our country is the car that leads the list, but anyone who buys a used Porsche 911 should research the car’s history carefully. For this type, the inspected cars 12.05 percent had their odometer rolled back.

It is followed by the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Audi A8, the Opel Vectra and the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. Overall, such fraud was experienced in 6.07 percent of the cars checked, and they return an average of 74,000 kilometers per hour.

Based on carVertical data, the twenty most common mileage frauds in Hungary affect four models each from Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Opel.
