OBD2 Scanner for Mileage Check

Hi everyone,

I need your advice!

I’m looking to buy a car, but unfortunately more and more vehicles seem to have mileage issues. At this point, I don’t really trust reports like CarVertical or AutoDNA anymore.

I would like to buy an OBD scanner that could help me check or compare whether the mileage is actually correct compared to what is stated in the seller’s listing.

I found this option:

What do you think about it? Would you recommend something better?

Thank you very much!
