How to find out the mileage of a car on the windshield?

Car dealerships often hide the number of kilometers driven by their cars. Meanwhile, it is very easy to evaluate it based on an assessment of the condition of automotive glass.

Often, sellers of cars older than a couple of years claim a very low mileage of the car, explaining this by the fact that they drove, for example, retiree. As a rule, in such cases the counter is indeed removed. The way to avoid a fraudulent transaction is to carefully analyze the condition of the car windshield.

The windshield, if it has not been replaced, will help us judge the actual mileage of the car. Natural glass wear cannot be repaired - glass polishing is technically possible, but not used in professional services - glass and lens distortion may occur.

- The windshield will tell you the truth, - says Jarosław Kuczynski, NordGlass expert, - with a mileage of more than 100 km. kilometers, it fades and the first signs of wear are visible. More than 200 thousand kilometers, round scratches will be visible on the windshield.

It is also worth paying attention to the area of ​​operation of the wipers. Their frequent use causes fine scratches caused by poor condition of the feathers or the appearance of grains of sand. To be completely confident in diagnosing the car's mileage, you can also assess the condition of the upholstery, the wear of the steering wheel and pedals.
