What the mileage rollback check tells you
Carlytics aggregates every odometer reading we can match to a VIN — UK MOT history, EU technical-inspection readings, insurance write-off records, and dealer-service entries. Each reading is anchored to a date, so the report draws a chronological mileage curve and flags any backward step or implausibly flat segment. The check works even when the seller has not disclosed history: if the car has ever been registered in a country with mandatory odometer logging at periodic inspection, those readings exist independently of the seller. The report tells you the lowest pre-sale reading, the highest pre-sale reading, the implied annual mileage versus the declared mileage, and the country where the inconsistency surfaced.
Why it matters for buyers
Odometer rollback is the single most common form of used-car fraud across the EU, with EU Commission estimates placing the share of cross-border used cars with manipulated mileage in the 30-50% range. A 30,000 km rollback typically adds EUR 2,000-3,500 to the resale price. The good news for buyers: rollback is one of the easiest frauds to detect, because mileage registries are public and beyond seller control. The Carlytics multi-registry curve catches the vast majority of rollbacks against the recorded reading at the most recent inspection.
How Carlytics differs
Most VIN-check competitors show a single odometer reading; carVertical shows two or three. Carlytics pulls every reading we find across every covered registry — typically four to twelve points for an eight-year-old EU car. We render the readings as a curve so the buyer can see at a glance whether the trajectory is consistent with normal use. Same data flows into the EUR 8.90 flat-fee report at no extra charge — no premium odometer-history paywall.
