This is from a pamphlet published by the Federal Consumer Information Center:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that consumers lose billions of dollars a year to odometer fraud. Odometer readings may be rolled back or documents can be forged. Making miles disappear helps increase the car's value to the seller, but can mean increased maintenance and repair costs to the buyer. ... you can use the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) to secure a history from either the state or a private vehicle history company. These companies have compiled data from multiple sources to help you get a better picture of the used car's past.

What does mileage exceeds mechanical limits mean?
When a vehicle's mileage exceeds mechanical limits, it means that the odometer has reached its maximum value and can no longer accurately display the true mileage of the vehicle. This can occur if the odometer has rolled over, typically after it reaches 99,999 miles or 999,999 miles depending on the type of odometer. This makes it difficult to determine the true mileage of the vehicle and may raise concerns about its actual usage and wear and tear.
How can you find out if the mileage on a car has been rolled back?
A Car-fax search may help and it may not. You are probably not going to ever find out the exact mileage on the vehicle. Rolling back the mileage is illegal and carries a hefty fine.
What does it imply if an ECM Mileage is changed?
If an ECM (Engine Control Module) mileage is changed, it typically implies that the vehicle's recorded mileage has been tampered with, which can indicate potential fraud, such as odometer rollback to enhance the vehicle's resale value. This manipulation can mislead buyers about the vehicle's true wear and maintenance needs. Additionally, altering the ECM mileage may also affect warranty claims and insurance coverage. It's crucial to verify the vehicle's history and seek professional inspection if such changes are suspected.
