Odometer fraud or tampering involving used vehicles is a frequent complaint of consumers. Tampering with a vehicle’s odometer reading is unlawful in Alberta and should be reported to AMVIC as soon as it is discovered. The following are some clues that you can look for to determine if an odometer has been changed. 

	Look at the digits. Are they misaligned?
	Is the trip odometer working?
	Are one or more dash screws loose or missing?
	Are there scratches in the area of the odometer?
	If there are oil change labels, check to see if the dates are consistent with the odometer totals.
	Is the vehicle registration information inconsistent with the odometer reading?
	Is the wear and tear of the vehicle in areas like door strikers, floor mats, carpets, driver’s seat and gas/brake pedals inconsistent with the age of the vehicle as indicated by the odometer reading?
