A tamper resistant and tamper-proving odometer construction. Driving of the odometer mechanism in the reverse direction to lower the count is prevented by a one-way locking mechanism associated with the lowest order digit wheel. A marking mechanism is associated with the two highest order digit wheels to clearly indicate if tampering has taken place in the lower mileage range up to 10,000 miles and in the higher mileage range up to 100,000. A continuous drive between the two highest order wheels can also be used to indicate tampering in the range below 10,000 miles.
