ODOMETER SCAMS: WILL THERE FINALLY BE A EUROPEAN CAR-PASS?
Mileage fraud is a major problem, according to a study by the European Parliament. Cases of fraud vary from 5% to 12% for domestic car sales in Europe, and from 30% to 50% for cross-border sales. This results in an estimated economic loss of between 5.6 and 9.6 billion euros in the European Union.
Thanks to Car-Pass, mileage fraud on used cars has fallen sharply in Belgium. However, the system is still not used throughout Europe. For Secretary of State Alexia Bertrand, this is a priority for the Belgian Presidency.
