I know this because I had the speedo go bad on my DA so I replaced it and matched the mileage on the new one. You're not supposed to do that but it worked fine after I drove it 10k miles LOL.
BTW the DMV keeps close track of your mileage through registration, smog checks, and even through some repair shops. When there is an inconsistency with the mileage, they mark your title similar to salvage. And there's no way to ever get the record cleared again.
