What does "odometer disclosure" refer to under Title 26?

Odometer disclosure refers specifically to the requirement of stating the vehicle's mileage at the time of sale. This disclosure is crucial for both buyers and sellers in the transaction of motor vehicles, as it helps ensure transparency regarding the vehicle's usage and value. The accurate report of mileage protects buyers from purchasing a vehicle that may have been tampered with or that has more wear than expected based on its reported mileage. This regulation is in place to combat odometer fraud, which can cause significant financial loss to consumers and undermine trust in the vehicle sales market.

By ensuring that the mileage is accurately disclosed, it allows potential buyers to make informed decisions and assess the vehicle's condition appropriately. It is essential for maintaining legal compliance and ensuring that all parties involved in the sale are aware of the vehicle's true usage history.
