Important information for buyers of imported vehicles

One of the ways of artificially inflating car prices is odometer rollback, that is, reducing the distance traveled.

Experts believe that a rolled-back mileage is not only fraud but also a deliberate creation of dangerous situations on the road. What should a car buyer do to avoid such cases?

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Xezerxeber.az, some cars have a VIN code, but when checked, no information is found.

This problem is identified in some cars imported from abroad and sold in our country.

Mechanics say that some dealers use this method to more easily sell cars that have been used for a long time or have damage.

Most often, such cases are found in cars brought from the American and Korean markets for sale. Due to high mileage, resellers bring these vehicles, purchased at a low price, into the country and put them up for sale after reducing the mileage. They even pay 15-17 dollars to delete the car's history so that the buyer remains unaware.

According to car electrician Khalig Alimammadov, although information about car histories is deleted from many websites, it remains in the service database.

Khalig Alimammadov noted that after a special technical inspection, it is possible to determine how much the mileage of some cars has been rolled back.

Mechanics say that a car's high mileage indicates possible technical problems in the future. This reduces the selling price of the car. Therefore, some individuals who put a car up for sale try to fraudulently roll back the mileage and increase the car's price. That's why when buying a car, it's important to check these nuances.
