Yes, errors do happen if someone mistypes something but it would look like this..
2019 20000 miles
2020 21000 miles
2021 23000 miles
2022 10000 miles
2023 26000 miles..
Obviously, the 2022 mileage may have been typed in incorrectly but if you have a car that had the mileage go up consistently over many years and then the car is sold with 100k miles less on the odometer, this is fraud.

Yes. It's safe to say that obvious fraud is obvious.
The better thing to do is to look at previous title mileages which are available at the DMV/BMV of any state. Unlike Carfax, those are correct.
Carfax is only valuable if someone religiously used reporting businesses for maintenance... and was then stupid enough to change an odometer after the fact.
A 75k mile car with a worn out brake pedal is a hell of a lot better indicator of fraud than Carfax.
