Since October 2014 approaches, the RDW daily(!) an average of 400 vehicle owners because of an illogical mileage.

An “inconsistent mileage” is when a newly registered counter reading is lower than the previous one. Since 1 January 2014 is the rollback of odometer readings in the car an offence.

The RDW has the tellerstandenregistratie of Foundation of the National Car is Newly acquired. Car companies give out regular odometer readings to the RDW. The odometer readings are now a part of the vehicle registration database.

Authorized dealers have the meter readings to pass to, inter alia:
– The APK
– Put to name
Repair and maintenance work which costs more than 150 euro.
– Export

They do that according to the RDW. There are fewer data entry errors made and records are more often on time passed. Since October 2014, the RDW has started alerting vehicle owners to inconsistent odometer readings. This is what happens when a new registered counter reading is lower than the previous one. Every day, an average of 400 letters on this topic from the. In the relevant letter tells the RDW what the car owner can do to have the correct mileage in the registry. The majority of these are data entry errors, but that is fortunately becoming less and less. In this way, the RDW is getting better visibility on the size of tellerfraude.

Willem Rijnberg is department Manager of Relationship management (2x manage!) and explains: “In 2015 we are going to conduct a campaign for informing consumers. This is done together with the involved members of the industry, united in the Association Approach Tellerfraude. Also we are going in the EU context, focus on imported vehicles. Outside Belgium, register no other European country the mileage as closely as we do. We think that about 30 to 50 percent of the imported vehicles, the count is reversed. We are so firmly on the lobbying to have this issue in Europe on the agenda.’
