It is highly unlikely that a digital odometer would show a one in front of the correct mileage. It sounds like someone is trying to sell you a car and tell you it has less mileage than it really does.
my odometer sometimes working sometimes not working
Depends on age of vehicle and average mles driven
Any good mechanic will be able to tell you if the car has 143k on it.
If the odo hasn't been tampered with it'll show the total distance the car has travelled.
How far the vehicle has travelled.
in a car the odometer tell you how far you have driven. so it's measures how far you've travelled
Look at the odometer, it will tell you what mileage it has.
Now why would you want to do that??? You wouldn't be able to tell how many miles you've driven! It is a crime to disconnect the Odometer.
If an odometer has been turned back you can usually see tell tale signs that the numbers don't allign correctly. The other way of checking is for wear and tear on the trim within the car. If the vehicle mileage is showing as 20000 miles and the steering wheel and gear stick trim etc is worn then you can put a reasonably safe bet that the vehicle has done far in excess of that mileage.
No way to tell without taking it apart.
