There are no special legal requirements for selling a high-mileage vehicle, but documenting the exact mileage on the bill of sale is critical.

Required disclosures
The seller must record the exact odometer reading at the time of sale, disclose whether the odometer is accurate or has been replaced, and note any major mechanical systems that are worn or non-functional.
Buyer warning
High-mileage vehicles may have significant wear on engine, transmission, and suspension components. Request maintenance records and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic.
