Default Help mileage check

Hello
I have just recently bought an imported dodge dakota from Nova Scotia, problem is I think someone here in the United Kingdom has turned the clock back....is there anyone who can verify the last known mileage stateside?
Dodge Dakota 2007
VIN 1D7HW28KX7S149037

Just wondering if anyone can help point me in the right direction to obtain some history?
Thanks!

Carfax might be able to tell you something, but, they charge for that particular service. The free reporting site I checked, didn't have any mileage records at all....

What year Dakota? A third gen the odometer is electronic. Can’t be “turned back”.

unless they installed a new dash cluster, would be my only guess for the mileage

Just curious what makes you believe something is fishy. I have a 2005 that I bought brand new straight off the transport truck, and I have less than 70,000 miles on it.
So, if its due to low mileage, its not impossible.

What would an imported Dakota from Canada into the UK have anything to do with mileage the USA???Their odometers register in kilometers and the American models register in miles.If you are trying to determine miles just do the conversion(km x .621) to obtain miles.
