3. Odometer disclosure

Federal law (49 U.S.C. 32705) requires mileage disclosure at transfer for vehicles fewer than 20 model years old. I, the Seller, certify the odometer readsmiles (no tenths), and that to the best of my knowledge this reading is (check one):

Actual mileageExceeds mechanical limitsNOT the actual mileage (warning: odometer discrepancy)

Mileage must be disclosed at transfer on the title assignment or on form MVR-180 (Odometer Disclosure Statement); pre-2011 vehicles are exempt at 10 years and 2011-and-newer models are exempt at 20 years, per the form.
