What you'll see on the result page
A single honest timeline, not an average or an estimate.
- Every official mileage reading, in order, plotted against the dates they were recorded.
- The kilometres added between each reading — and whether that pace is plausible for the car in question.
- Any anomaly flag we detect: a reading that is lower than the one before it, a multi-year gap, or a jump that is hard to reconcile with normal use.
Why a timeline beats a headline number
The odometer on the dashboard shows one number today. The RDW record shows what the odometer said every time the car was officially checked. A rolled-back reading shows up as a drop. A storage year shows up as a flat line. A buyer who sees the pattern asks better questions.
What a mileage check actually catches
- Rollback — the classic. A current reading lower than a historical one is the clearest signal fraud is in play.
- Implausible pace. A car that supposedly did twelve thousand kilometres in three months between inspections is worth a second look.
- Long still periods. A two-year gap often means the car was off the road, stored, or undergoing a repair that never made the advert.
