How do you determine the actual mileage beyond 100000 miles on a 1985 Fifth Avenue when you don't know how many times the odometer has wrapped around?

Answer:

Answer

You can not. The mileage has exceeded the mechanical limits of the odometer. You can look at wear on the brake pedal. That is usually a good indicator of high mileage, but it is not definitive. Brake pedals can be replaced. You can check for repair records in the car as well. These sometimes have mileage recorded.
