A more difficult question is "Is it possible not to change mileage here in Nigeria?"

Got a car with the mileage of 102 plus in the dashboard. When I checked d VIN history, I realized dat d mileage was 234plus before it was shipped to Nigeria. I asked d dealer and he told me they didn’t adjust d mileage here. I don’t know what to believe again.

And you honestly expect a Nigerian car dealer to tell you the truth? You must still be wallowing in your nightlong sleep.

They would feign ignorance about the mileage rollback. But truth be told, most buyers are the architect of their problem by looking to by a low mileage at a reasonably low price. In the USA, low mileage cars are expensive.

To answer op’s question; yes, dealers tamper with a car’s mileage here in Nigeria. The earlier you understand this the better for you so you don’t expect to buy a low mileage car at a ridiculously low price. Don’t fall for it.

However, not all dealers engage in this act.

The question is how? Do they use OBD equipment or they change instrument cluster
