Does that look dodgy?

I have always been told to check if they are in line. Any uppy downy misalignment suggests tampering. What do you think?

Thanks in advance
 
looks fine, and also wins a prize for the most out of focus shot i've seen today
 
Some cars' odometers tend to be wonky even if they haven't been tampered with. Others have completely straight row of numbers unless tampered with.

Whats the car? And why can't you verify the mileage through the service history?
 
200sx 1999.

picture is from a forum post so nothing i can control. Ive seen a few other 200sx's and they are perfectly in line. This one and another one (cant find the pic atm) are wonky.. the other one was so wonky you could see the tops of other numbers and nearly the bottom of others.
 
are looking at buying this car, or just being an annoying forum police officer?
 
The odo on my 205 GTI is all over the place, but I know for a fact the mileage is 100% accurate. Some cars are just a bit pants...

That one looks fine to me though!

buying and the car is a trip to scotland away.. wanna make sure its ok before taking the flight over to test drive it.


/edit i live in Milton Keynes. It will also only be my 2nd car having owned a 1.2 Clio for 7 years and by far the most expensive.

fair play, just ask him to take another photo of it then - but in focus this time. it will undoubtable have a different reading now and the allignment will look different.
 
cheers for the tips i guess the old paper work will sort it all out, i just didnt wanna waste a flight to scotland even though im trying to tie it in visiting a friend. I'd love to burn it back to MK in a 2 litre turbo :D
 
Looks fine.

My dads old Mondeo's odometer was all over the shop by the time it reached 180,000 and that hadn't been fiddled with.
 
polish it? why on earth would i want to do that? i've added more to this thread than you, naff off back to your barge will you.
