How do you tell if your car has been tampered with?

How can I tell if a car has 100, 000 miles?

How can I determine the actual mileage of my car?
Determine the actual mileage of the vehicle by adding the current odometer reading to the appropriate rollover amount. For example, If the odometer reads 4,800 miles and the title history search suggests the vehicle had 70,000 miles reported from the previous owner, the actual mileage may be 104,800 miles.

How many miles does it take to roll back an odometer?
You can find out by using CARFAX Value. Even a small adjustment of a few thousand miles will affect values. However, most odometer rollback fraud incidents involve tens of thousands of miles. For instance, that 7-year-old sedan that shows 40,000 miles on the odometer might actually have 90,000 miles or more.
