Wrong mileage w221
Hi all,
I just purchased a w221 S350cdi 2009 with 170.000 km in dashboard. Yesterday, after a simple check with my diagnostic tool I found a hand brake error. No problem with this, but in additional info is written: "Main odometer reading: first occurrence 397312 km" Does anybody knows what that means? Can the main dealer read if the odometers were rolled back? Thank you! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...c1b72f9ffb.jpg |
"First Occurrence" means first time the fault happened.. "Last Occurrence" means the last time the fault happened.

Your car might have been rolled back. The first occurrence of the problem shows the odometer reading of 397,312 km, that doesn’t show the actual original number of kilometers the odometer has today which is even higher if indeed it has been rolled back. You should check the original kilometers with the dealer. |

There are ways to block the correct mileage being reported altogether. That being said, definitely check the mileage in all modules where it's available.
That's like 250,000 miles. Not bad if it's correct. |

Haha yeah no doubt. I was just putting that out there....that in some cases there is no way to get the actual mileage anymore...unless you look for the hardware they installed and remove it.
