When is a separate odometer statement required to be used?

A separate odometer statement is required to be used when a non-conforming title is being transferred. This situation typically arises when the title does not meet state requirements or does not accurately reflect the vehicle's true condition or ownership status. In these cases, an odometer statement ensures that the current mileage of the vehicle is disclosed and provides protection against fraud.

The requirement for an odometer statement in this context helps maintain transparency in vehicle transactions, particularly for buyers who may be concerned about mileage discrepancies that could affect the vehicle's value and usability.
