CHECK THE MILES
ODOMETER WEAR CHECK

The odometer can lie. The wear can't.

Snap 10 photos of the pedal, wheel, seat and dash. We compare the wear against the miles shown and tell you, in plain words, whether they add up.

THE IDEA

Every car keeps two clocks.

When the two clocks agree, you can trust the number on the dash. When they don't, you want to know before you hand over the money.

CLOCK 1 · MILES

The odometer

A number on a screen. It can be wound back or reprogrammed, and clean paperwork won't show it.

CLOCK 2 · WEAR

The driver's seat

Pedal, wheel, seat, switches. Wear builds with every trip, and it's much harder to fake.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, one phone, a few minutes.

THE 10 PHOTOS

Where the miles show.

Six are required. Four extras sharpen the verdict when the car has them.

THE VERDICT

One of three answers. No jargon.

Wear matches the miles

The car looks about as used as the dash says. Good sign.

More worn than it should be

Some spots look older than the miles. Ask questions before you buy.

Doesn't add up

The wear and the miles disagree. Get a professional inspection first.

For dealers

Check The Miles is a wear consistency check, not proof of tampering and not a mechanical inspection. It tells you whether what you can see fits the miles shown. If something doesn't add up, have the car inspected by a professional before you buy.

Before you buy, check the miles.
