What happens when your odometer reaches 999,999km?

Question

Does it stay there? or does it go any further? or does it go back to 000,000? I'm refering to 6 digit non digital ones. And has anyones ever come this close?

Thanks...

Ps: would be hard trying to sell a car with a million kms lol

Answer 1

It goes back to 000,000.  My friend's car did this.  It's not a problem because it should be obvious by then that the car isn't new.

Answer 2

it would be impossible to sell but the manufacturer may by it if it ever gets that far

my truck just hit 1,042,000 million miles, 2000 international 9900

Answer 3

When all digits show "9", the next reading is "0"

Answer 4

yes, it goes back to beginning 000,001 and rolls forwards again.

Once upon a time car odometers only went up to 99,999

I know, because even though I had a "fix or repair daily" (FORD) I managed to get it to 200,000 miles before I sold it (because it would not run any more) and its odometer only went up to 99,999 & I knew how far I had driven it because it had got up to 99,999 twice already.

Answer 5

it goes back to 0 on older models. and it can be done with a drill, it doesnt have to be driven tht far

Answer 6

It depending on how many digits your odometer supports.  If you have an analog odometer and you only have 6 digits, then it will reset to 000,000.  If you have an analog odometer with 7 digits or a digital odometer, it will advance to 1,000,000.
