The New York Odometer and Damage Disclosure Statement is a document used by car owners when transferring the title of a vehicle in New York State. The purpose of the statement is to provide accurate information about the condition of the vehicle, including the odometer reading and any existing damage. The form is required whenever a vehicle is sold, leased, or transferred in New York. There are two types of New York Odometer and Damage Disclosure Statement: (1) the New York Odometer Certification Statement (Form MV-103) and (2) the New York Damage Disclosure Statement (Form MV-104). Both forms must be completed by the seller and buyer at the time of the sale. The Odometer Certification Statement requires the seller to enter the odometer reading and certify its accuracy, while the Damage Disclosure Statement requires the seller to disclose any existing damage to the vehicle. Both forms must be signed and dated by both the seller and buyer, and a copy must be provided to the buyer.

Yes, it is possible to roll back mileage on a digital odometer and make its reading appear lower than the vehicle's true mileage. Prior to the early 2000s, you had to manually roll back the numbers on a mechanical instrument whose purpose was to capture the distance a vehicle traveled.
Let's say, for example, you purchase a car from someone that states the speedometer stopped working when the odometer read 80,000 miles. He or she then replaced the broken speedometer with a new speedometer that had an odometer reading of 40,000 miles. This would be an odometer discrepancy.
Federal and state law requires that you state the mileage upon transfer of ownership; failure to complete or providing a false statement may result in fines and/or imprisonment.
Actual: the mileage as stated is the Actual Mileage, there are no discrepancies. In Excess of Mechanical Limits: Due to limited digits on a vehicle's odometer, the actual mileage is impossible to determine by 'sight'. Example: a vehicle with a 5-digit odometer could not accurately identify mileage over 99,999 miles.
Digital odometers can be rolled back by removing the vehicle's circuit board to change the odometer reading, or using rollback equipment that hooks right into the vehicle's electronic circuit.
FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS REQUIRE THAT YOU PROVIDE THE MILEAGE AND CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE DESCRIBED BELOW WHEN TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP OF IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.
If the discrepancy is created by inconsistent DMV reported mileage, the dealership is likely required to transfer title to the vehicle with a ?true miles unknown? designation.
