In some states, like Texas for instance, once a car is past a certain age (10 years I believe here) it qualifies to be EXEMPT - MILEAGE UNKNOWN when title transfer occurs and is forever then that way upon transfer REGARDLESS if the original title holder can certify the mileage or not.

I think this was done to prevent shenanigans in the used car industry, but I do not see that it really helps.

Anyway - thought I'd throw in....
