Mitsubishi Lancer 2010: Is it possible to tamper with the odometer?

Would it be possible for an unscrupulous seller to wind back the speedometer on a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer?

Yes, it is possible to rewind the speedo. A 2010 Lancer would be expected to have done between 80,000km and 130,000km on average. If you suspect that a car has had its speedo tampered with you could check the service record and see the dates and the odometer readings from each service to see if the current reading fits the pattern of past use.
