What it means
An odometer rollback (kilometraje alterado) happens when the odometer is manipulated to show fewer kilometers than real to justify a higher price. On digital dashboards it is done with diagnostic equipment.
Why it matters
A car with more use than declared is worth less and is closer to major maintenance. You would pay a well-kept-car price for a worn vehicle.
What to check
- Compare wear on the steering wheel, pedals, shifter, and seats against the declared mileage.
- Ask for service and emissions-check history: kilometers should grow consistently.
- Distrust unusually low figures on cars with several years of daily use.
