I've been in the market for a SUV/CUV and found a nice SUV which was advertised as having been driven for 61000 kms, GCC specifications, 2008 model. It was in Awir Car Market and drove very well, and looked mint and well kept and I was ready to pay a down payment. I took down the VIN/Chassis number just in case and called up the dealership to check its service history. Turns out that their last record of this car was in June 2012, where it was stored in their Pre-Owned department and sent for polishing...at 103000 kms!

The odo has obviously been tampered with. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Would be interesting to hear what the seller has to say on that matter :D
Did you ask him to give an explanation?
