Carfax Question.. Km's and Odometer

[Khalil.e]

Looking at a vehicle for sale locally, but have a quick question regarding the carfax report.

The report has the following:

We checked over 5 billion records from thousands of data sources for this vehicle

The last reported odometer reading was 99,419

All the bold numbers are under a column that says 'Mileage', and all the text that you see is under 'Comments'.

Why would it have one number as mileage, and then a different number as 'Odometer reported as xxx,xxx kilometers'?

Thanks.

well carfax is american, so the mileage was reported in kms i am assuming, but the carfax report shows it in it converted miles form.
