Hopefully this doesn`t qualify as a dumb question...
Is there any way to tell if an odometer has been run past its mechanical
limit? That is, since the odometer in the C3 has a max of 99,999.9 is there
a way to know if the car you`re buying has 43,000 miles vs. 143,000 miles?
I`ve just always wondered if there is some mechanical way to know if the
odometer had been run through the numbers. Of course, I`ve also wondered
why odometers with this limit were ever used in the first place.

There was a time when 100,000 miles didn`t happen very often and if it did
the car was long since any good or rusted away. There is no way to "tell" if
an odometer has been rolled over if it was done on purpose. Also very few,
if any, were setup to make a visible difference when it rolled over from use
until the late `80s I think. It didn`t take much to dismantle the entire
speedometer head and reset the dials. Don`t ask, don`t tell.
