If you take it to the dealer, they can through it on the computer and tell you. Otherwise, if it's older, try carfax. But the most telling, especially on older cars is if the numbers don't line up.

if it's a 5 digit(not including decimal miles) and its an older car...chances are it doesn't actually have only 40 or 50 thousand miles...its probably been rolled. as for a 6 digit, the only person i've ever seen roll over one of those drove a chevy truck and took good care of it. he actually put a million miles on it.

You need to check the speedometer cable in 2 places, first: right behind the speedometer, look at where it plugs in behind the dash, see if it looks like it has been tampered with. Second: look where the speedometer cable connects to the transmission, see if it looks like it has been tampered with. Most newer cars have a seal on them, to prevent someone from doing that. If it appears to be tampered with, visit a speedometer specialist, and they can calibrate your speedometer, to the correct position.

If any of the numbers are out of place or don't line up right it has been rolled back.
