Best way to judge Wear & Tear on a vehicle?

[Crazy Dazz]

As a general rule lower kilometres are obviously desirable, so the odometer reading combined with the strength of the service & maintenance history is a good indicator.

But there are so many problems with modern electronic clusters, changing them out has become common, which makes me suspicious about some of the cars I have seen. Cars that claim to have moderate kilometres but have flogged out components.

In the days when cars "clocked" at 100k, my ole Dad always reckoned the tip was to look at the wear on the brake pedal, as that was something few people thought to replace.

What would you look at, if you thought the kilometres weren't legit?
