distance shown on the odometer.
‘(4) Subsection (2) does not limit a court’s powers under the Penalties

‘Evidence of tampering by a motor dealer
‘59B.(1) Evidence that a motor vehicle’s odometer was tampered with
when the vehicle was in a dealer’s possession is evidence that the dealer
contravened section 59A(1).1
‘(2) Evidence that a motor vehicle’s odometer reading shortly after a
dealer had possession of the vehicle was less than its reading when the
dealer took possession of the vehicle is evidence the dealer contravened
section 59A(1).

1 Section 59A (Tampering with odometers).
PS this is under qld law, but basically the same from what i found quickly exists in all states
