Hidden Damage and Mileage Fraud: Used Car Inspection Exposes Shocking Truth

Used Car Buyers Beware: Mileage Tampering and Hidden Damage Revealed in Recent Inspection. Madrid, Spain – May 14, 2025 – A recent video by Needcarhelp, a used car inspection service, has highlighted the alarming issue of mileage tampering and hidden damage in used vehicles. The video details the inspection of a Ford Tourneo Custom, where the odometer showed 75,000 km but a diagnostic check revealed the true mileage to be 145,000 km. "It's more common than you think," says the Needcarhelp inspector in the video, emphasizing the importance of professional pre-purchase inspections. The inspection further uncovered evidence of a previous collision in the front left section, which had been repaired. Additionally, the headlights were found to have a later manufacturing date than the vehicle itself. This case serves as a strong reminder for potential buyers to thoroughly investigate the history of any used car before purchasing. Needcarhelp's service provides a valuable safeguard against costly surprises and potential fraud.
