To a point I am sure. But it is technically illegal to operate a vehicle with the odometer disconnected or not functioning and considered "Odometer Fraud" if I am not mistaken. So that should have been taken care of and the odometer certified prior to sale should it not? I am sure the operative language would fall into the "it was working just fine the last time I checked it" category hahaha.
It was a curiosity question, because I had always been told to be very wary and avoid vehicles that were less than ten years old, with an odometer that was not functioning. The reason being that odometers in modern vehicles were pretty much fault free, and that a non-functioning odometer was often a sign that a vehicle had possibly been in an accident or that the odometer had been deliberately tampered with.
I am not sure how accurate that is, but it has always scared me off of a deal, and why I asked :)
