odometer tampering??? 850

As mentioned in my other post, "1994 vs.1995", I am considering purchasing a used 1994 850. It was originally sold in Canada and both the spedometer and odometer are in Km. The car is now in USA. A carfax report on this car ends with the following entries:

4/26/03 232,751 California DMV
5/06/03 232,815 Passed emissions inspection
6/24/04 274,728 Service Facility

The odometer reads 238,140km. It seems crazy that the car would be driven 40,000km in just over a year. It also seems crazy that these guys would roll back the odometer, but they do work on cars....not volvos....

Basically I don't think there was any tampering, but could this ever show up as a problem in the future? Will it show up as odometer rollback on future carfax reports if the next entry is a lower mileage? Should I try to get a hold of the dealership that worked on the car 6/24/04? Am I freaking out over nothing?

Tell me how it is,
CineMan
