False mileage readings are most difficult to detect on Japanese and Korean cars with few electronic components, as well as on older cars with mechanical odometers. The head of the autocriminologist expert center Maxim Shelkov told socialbites.ca about this.
“If we take modern BMWs, the mileage there can be recorded in two dozen different electronic units. Korean and Japanese cars record the mileage in a much smaller number of places, in only two or three places, and this data is cleared very easily,” Shelkov told socialbites.ca’ ya.
The expert added that on Mazda, Kia, Toyota cars there are clearly fewer points for recording mileage, and it is much easier to compile data on them due to the smaller amount of work.
Older cars with mechanical odometers (such as the Hyundai Accent) often do not have redundant electronic units in which the distance traveled by the car is written and the meter readings can be read using an electric drill, Shelkov. He concluded.
It was previously known what cars the Russians had to buy new.
