Does anyone know of way to tell if your Deli's Odometer has been tampered with? How can you tell if your kilometers are legitamite. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Add to the above, I'd treat it like any other high mileage vehicle regardless of the odometer reading. Check for leaks and levels regularly. Investigate unusual smells or sounds. Simplify where you can.

If they don't add up you can remove the instrument cluster and look for evidence of tampering- fingerprints in the dust on the back of the cluster, damaged/missing screws, scratches on the odometer wheels.
That said, it wouldn't be difficult to falsify the odometer reading and leave no evidence.
With a vehicle this old the mileage isn't all that relevant anyway. Time will do as much damage as mileage, and a super low mileage van might have missed out on the servicing a more frequently used vehicle would receive. I'd prefer a well-maintained 350,000km van to an outdoor-stored 50,000km van.
