vehicle.odometerReadingKm

Odometer reading (km) · Kilometerstand (km) statutory

Reading of an odometer that reads in kilometres, in whole kilometres, as displayed at the reference date (vehicle.odometerReadingDate, else BT-72, else BT-2). Never converted from miles and never estimated. It is the displayed reading, not a statement of the distance actually travelled; vehicle.odometerReadingStatusCode qualifies it. For the 6 000 km test of Art. 2(2)(b)(i) the issuer relies on it, and it SHOULD then be the reading at delivery.
