塔州1%二手车公里数都被调过！澳洲最高！

塔斯马尼亚是澳洲二手车公里数调过最多的洲，据调查显示在Carhistory.com.au每100个车就有1辆车的公里数是被挑过的，ACT是全澳洲最少的只有0.2%，在Carhistory.com.au检查一次车的历史纪录需要$32.95刀！

TASMANIA is the nation's "clocking" capital.

A consumer research site says that more car speedos are being wound back by people selling vehicles in this state than anywhere else.

Carhistory.com.au says one in every 100 cars checked before sale in Tasmania on its vehicle history site has had its odometer wound back.

Nationwide, the illegal practice affects 0.82 per cent of vehicles while the ACT has the lowest rate of "clocking", just 0.2 per cent of cars sold.

It is the second warning to Tasmanian car buyers from carhistory.com.au in as many months.

In March, the same company warned Tasmanians to look out for water-damaged vehicles being brought here from flooded areas interstate.

Head of carhistory.com.au David Scognamiglio said the new report showed that groups of dodgy sellers were evading detection and prosecution for misrepresenting how many kilometres the car had travelled before re-sale.

"Many sellers fail to provide statutory warranties, falsify log books and other documents to car buyers," he said.

In 2010, the Sunday Tasmanian revealed that an interstate gang had been scamming Tasmanian car buyers by winding back the odometers of second-hand cars and selling them with forged logbooks. They were sold at auction and through private sales.

Police confirmed they were told about the scam after a local car yard operator became suspicious about a newly bought vehicle.

Malcolm Little from the Tasmanian Automobile Chamber of Commerce said he was surprised at the statistics quoted by carhistory.com.au.

"In the more than 10 years I have been with the chamber, there would be only a couple of times where a speedo windback has been alleged," Mr Little said.

"My guess is that it is the province of the small dealers in old or cheap vehicles and backyard traders who purport to be selling privately."

A Carhistory.com.au spokeswoman said the analysis was based on reports compiled over a year, including information from national data on participating motor dealers, vehicle information management systems, online sales listing sites and many other sources.

Under new laws introduced this month, motor dealers need to be licensed and disclose to a consumer if they have any doubt about the accuracy of a speedo.

Mr Little said Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading had custody of the Motor Vehicle Traders Licensing Act.
