ODOMETER FRAUD INCREASINGLY COMMON IN THE UAE

Have you ever seen that perfect used car that fits your price range and isn’t driven to the moon and back? Well, as it turns out, that perfect car may not be perfect after all. Odometer rollback fraud is an increasingly common practice in the UAE used-car market. Dealers resort to this malpractice to attract customers with “too good to be true” deals, and most buyers generally tend to overlook the discrepancy. Since the standard RTA vehicle inspection does not test this specifically, it is very difficult to spot unless you keep an eye out for it. This is exactly why it is included in the 144-point check report provided by Scout My Car, so you really can buy the perfect car of your dreams!
