An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car. The device may be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two ( electromechanical ).
Five digit odometer of a Citroën Acadiane, 1986. Odometry is the use of data from motion sensors to estimate change in position over time. It is used in robotics by some legged or wheeled robots to estimate their position relative to a starting location. This method is sensitive to errors due to the integration of velocity measurements over ...
Odometer fraud, also referred to as "busting miles" (United States) or "clocking" (UK, Ireland and Canada), is the illegal practice of rolling back odometers to make it appear that vehicles have lower mileage than they actually do. Odometer fraud occurs when the seller of a vehicle falsely represents the actual mileage of a vehicle to the buyer.

1. Rusty Bodywork. Rust is ugly and spreads like malignant tissue. Look under the car, around the wheel wells, and under the doors to ensure your new ride does not come with lots of rust.
Finding a used one with less than 100,000 miles for under $15,000 is tough, but if the truck is clean and properly maintained, don’t worry too much about a six-digit odometer reading.
Some vehicles manufactured from the late 1990s to mid 2000s have a MIL that illuminates based on the odometer reading, regardless of engine operation. For example, in several Mazda models, the light will come on at 80,000 miles (130,000 km) and remain lit without generating a computer trouble code.
