Your real mileage was rewinded and now the ECU odometer does not work.

no, both the cars i know their history, no mileage modifications.

There are some models of Alfa Romeo vehicles on the market that have been produced as any ther model and they have this bug that does not count the kilometres in the ECU! It is probably bug from official production company in this case BOSCH Company who was supplier of those ECUs to Alfa Romeo!
Maybe there is a some king of official software update but I am not sure!

@Bogdan
You are not the only one! I think I know one guy with same problem!

Had the same problem with my Alfa 159 (1.9 jtd 16v).
FES showed odometer (and other distance releated values) with zero. Examiner did show correct readings.

When I went to a chiptuner here in Holland last week he noticed the software of the ECU was not the latest version, so he did an update.

When I got home and connected FES, it was able to read the correct odometer values.

So go to a dealer/specialist/... and ask them to update the ECU to the latest software version.
