Thoughts on mileage discrepancy?

Thoughts on this? My first thought is someone ****ed up the vin when servicing a similar vehicle.

Did you buy this or just get a Carfax report?

If you can see who serviced it in November I would contact them and have them check their records. It's probably supposed to be 93,159.
 
The last report says it is for sale "Toyota Certified". Have the dealer figure this out and clean it up. It maybe an error - but if it is not cleaned up it will stay with you forever, assuming you buy it. I would not buy a vehicle with this kind of "mismatch".

Add: Interesting that there is nothing reported for the first 2 years....

The odometer shows 13k, the November service record is the dealer that's selling it. It was owned by a ski resort so I can see it only getting 13k in two years.
 
Strange. It would make some sense if they screwed up the mileage on the first service entry and that's supposed to be 8333 instead of 83331. But that still seems like there's a service entry missing at about 4000-5000.
 
It's likely a lazy dealership employee who didn't double check. Happened to our 22 ORP, they didn't check and used the mileage from our old 19 Tacoma when we brought it in for service. They can correct it though.

What does the dealership say about the discrepancy? It's against the law to sell a car with altered mileage. It probably is a paper mistake during service but they need to fix it before you buy it. Vehicle registration issues like this can be a nightmare for a non-dealership to fix
 
Definitely reach out for confirmation from dealership.

While not impossible, it’s very unlikely someone put 83k miles on the vehicle in 2 years. Doubly, it’s is u likely Toyota would certify it as CPO and 13k miles if it has 83k miles.

Say it does have 83k miles and it’s not obvious in the wear and tear and that Toyota CPO at 13 miles. You will get a lot of free warranty work and still have a truck that goes 300k without major work.

Email CarFax directly and ask them to fix.

I'm a pre owned director at a dealership and have to do this a few times per month, and even had to on my personal car once.

May take a few weeks but they will fix it.
