Mileage check with module records

The odometer is compared with the mileage stored by modules that keep their own count, such as the engine, transmission and ABS. You get a plain label, and when a car doesn't allow a comparison, the report says so.

How do modules keep mileage?

The odometer isn't the car's only mileage record. Some modules, such as the engine, transmission and ABS, keep their own count. 2dakika reads these records during the scan and compares them with the odometer; the report also lists which sources were compared (for example "odometer + 2 modules").

Whether a module keeps mileage, and whether that record can be read, depends on the make, the model and the module. For many makes the comparison is limited, and the report says so.

The labels you see in the report

Mileage consistent
The odometer agrees with the module records it was compared with. A pre-check, not a definitive finding.
Partially checked
The odometer could be compared with only one module record and they agree; with so few sources the check is partial.
Mileage mismatch — get it checked
Something doesn't line up between the sources, such as a different mileage record or a module registered to another car. A replaced part or module can also cause this; have it checked at a workshop.
Mileage inconsistent — possible rollback
Several modules store clearly higher mileage than the odometer. That points to a possible rollback; it is not a definitive finding.
Not cross-checked
The odometer was read, but no module record could be reached for comparison. Not a negative finding, and not a sign the mileage was checked.
Odometer not readable
The odometer couldn't be read; only the modules' own records are available and are listed in the details.
Mileage not read
No mileage could be read from any source in this scan, usually because the engine was running or battery voltage was low; the report says what to do next. A scan that couldn't read mileage because the engine was running doesn't count toward your quota.

Why "Not cross-checked" isn't a negative finding

On some cars the modules don't share mileage, or there aren't enough sources to compare. The report then says plainly that no comparison was possible. That is not a negative finding about the car, and it doesn't mean the mileage was checked either.

A pre-check, not a definitive finding

The mileage comparison is a pre-check. A mismatch can also come from a replaced part or module; with such a result, have the car checked at a workshop.

How it differs from official records and inspections

Official records and a professional inspection answer different questions. The 2dakika report doesn't replace them; it adds the mileage records in the car's modules, the fault history and module details.

The report does not cover mechanical condition, accident/paint history, insurance damage (Tramer) or service records. Use it before or alongside an inspection to see the car's electronic records.
