new study from CARFAX<\/a> estimates that 2.45 million vehicles have odometers that have been rolled back. The 14 percent increase in 2025 followed a 4 percent spike between 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOdometer rollbacks occur when someone alters the mileage stored in a vehicle\u2019s electronic systems to make it appear less driven,\u201d said Faisal Hasan, Vice President of Data Acquisition at CARFAX in a press release. \u201cAs modern vehicles have transitioned from mechanical to digital odometers, tampering has unfortunately become more common due to the wider availability of inexpensive tools. At the same time, a car\u2019s mileage is now recorded more often, which helps us identify discrepancies and better protect consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CARFAX estimates the loss in value from the rollbacks at $3,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
California had more than 530,000 suspected vehicles with rolled back odometers. Texas had an estimated 333,000. Florida and New York were each slightly above 100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montana, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma saw the sharpest rise in suspected rollbacks in the past year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The number of cars on the road in the U.S. with rolled back, fraudulent odometers rose by 14…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-industry","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
