Question: 1 / 155

Which of the following is considered a violation of the Truth in Mileage Act?

Resetting the odometer to zero when the odometer is incapable of registering the same mileage

Resetting the odometer to zero when it is incapable of registering the same mileage constitutes a violation of the Truth in Mileage Act because this law is designed to protect consumers from fraud related to vehicle mileage. The Act requires that odometers represent an accurate account of a vehicle's mileage. If someone were to reset the odometer to zero, it misleads potential buyers about the true distance the vehicle has traveled, thus violating the legal expectation of honesty in vehicle sales.

The other choices represent actions that comply with consumer protection principles. Documenting mileage discrepancies at the time of sale ensures transparency and allows buyers to make informed decisions. Providing a full-service history gives potential buyers insights into the vehicle’s maintenance, promoting trust. Noting previous ownership conditions helps buyers understand the vehicle's background, which is also in line with honest and ethical sales practices.
