A definite no go

Nearly bought faulty a Kia 1.4 Rio 2020 Tec Auto.

Mileage on the odometer is lower than what’s on the logbook. Thought maybe it was a human error, I tried calling the number that’s on the stamp logged in the last service, “Kia Fourways”; only to find that the number doesn’t exist.

So I googled the correct number and inquired with the VIN number. They confirmed that the mileage written in the logbook (so it was reversed in the car), and further stated that the last time the vehicle was brought it, it had an excessive oil leak in the engine.

Dealership failed to disclosed this discrepancy and they kept insisting that the mileage is correct. I didn’t have to dig deep, but I was able to pick up problems. What was I going to find if I dug deeper??

I hope this helps someone
