Can Carfax be faked?

Carfax has been around for several years now, and, given the advertising, many consumers think that it presents an accurate vehicle history when buying a used car.

How accurate is Carfax mileage?

No, CARFAX does not guarantee odometer readings. If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading, then the odometer may have been tampered with and “”rolled back””. CARFAX analyzes the mileage history and the sources of this information to indicate a potential odometer rollback or mileage inconsistency.

Do all accidents show up on Carfax?

Yes. If an accident has been reported to CARFAX it will be included in the CARFAX Vehicle History Report. However, we do not have all accidents as many have never been reported, or may only have been reported to a source to which CARFAX does not have access.

Should I buy a car with odometer rollback?

It is illegal for a car dealership to roll back the miles on the car for any reason. There are certain odometer statutes in effect that protect the buyers of vehicles if the miles have been set back. Sometimes this means criminal charges for the company or person involved in this illegal activity.
