Should You Buy an Odometer Rollback Device?

The story of Mr. Nam, a renowned truck owner in Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi, is still being told. Everyone was impressed by his seemingly ageless Dongfeng truck, with its odometer always showing just a few tens of thousands of kilometers despite years on the road. Mr. Nam’s secret was an odometer rollback device purchased from an acquaintance. However, his joy was short-lived as his truck began experiencing frequent breakdowns, spending more time in the repair shop. Was it because Mr. Nam had tampered with the vehicle’s “lifespan”?
