In a word, NO.

Even the certifications on newer vehicles are based only upon the 
trustworthyness of the person signing it.  Laws have been enacted
that gives higher penalties for falsifying those odometer readings.  But people 
still roll back the numbers anyway.

It is impossible to say for sure on older cars.  Your best hope of verifying 
the numbers is to look at the car to see if the wear
factor matches that very low reading.
