Odometer

An odometer is a device in a vehicle that measures and displays the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. Typically found on the dashboard, it helps owners and technicians track usage, schedule maintenance, and determine the vehicle’s value. Modern odometers often use electronic systems, while older models may have mechanical gears and counters. They provide essential data for understanding the vehicle's history and condition, especially when buying or selling a used car. Accurate odometer readings are crucial for fair assessments and compliance with regulations regarding vehicle mileage reporting.
