odometer

Dashboard distance display

An odometer is an instrument that measures distance traveled, typically mounted on a vehicle's dashboard.

The odometer reading tells you how many miles or kilometers a car has accumulated over its lifetime.

To roll back the odometer is to fraudulently reduce the displayed mileage, making a used vehicle appear less worn than it is.
