Suspicious mileage on car??

[Waters4444]

So I'm looking for my first car and recently found a 2008 nissan note which seems like a good first car. It's a dealership that is selling it. However the car has had 4 previous owners and only has 148km I asked the dealership about it and he said he don't pay to much attention to how many owners a car has had. I'm just wondering Is this legit? Or have dealerships been known to tamper with the mileage? It seems to good to be true

Why would it not be legit? 90k in 12 years is pretty much normal for a Note.

[Waters4444]

I don't mean 140'000 I mean literally 148km through 4 owners

[ZX10R NIN]

Again four owners in 12 years is of no concern.

Reg of car?

Checkthe old MOT's out on one of the free sites and see if the mileage rings true. The dealer may also be able to confirm the mileage when the car was serviced.

As said, check the MOT history online, see what mileages have been recorded.

Only 148 kms in 12 years, unlikely to be correct.

When you say 'only has 148km' do you mean that it shows it has done 148,000 miles, or only 148 kilometres ?

Assuming it's miles, that seems pretty normal to me and not at all suspicious, 12,000 miles a year which must be a very normal mileage, times 12 years, gets you pretty much that. If anything it's slightly on the high side for a smallish car.

How are you struggling to understand that it's reading only 148km and not 140000km. OP has even clarified this.

Deffo dodgy OP. Get that MOT and service history checked.

It’s not a five digit display is it?

[Boobonman]

What’s the reg? Check the MOT history. If it’s got 148 miles on it then it should be like brand new right?

Pretty bullish of the dealer to tamper with the mileage to wind it back to an pretty much unbelievable 148 miles covered in 12 years.
I'm assuming the car itself presents as pretty much brand new. Wouldn't take more than half a glance to take a guess whether it is a remotely plausible mileage. Service history and MOT history should help validate.
4 owners is odd, but perhaps none of them liked driving it.
