Listo.
Acabo de leer el documento que 678 incluyó en su consulta, y esto es lo que dice sobre BRAND (página 4, punto 26)
A description on a certificate of title, as determined by the department or the equivalent agency of another jurisdiction, which indicates and advises future owners and interested parties that:
a. The vehicle has or has had a relevant physical condition, modification, construction, alteration or history of use; or
b. Past or present ownership of the vehicle could not be clearly established to the satisfaction of the department or the equivalent agency of another jurisdiction.
Luego dice Brand types y hay una clasificación, donde todas ellas, a mi entender, indican las características y estado/condición actuales del vehículo.

Odometer brand (?)
No hay ningún signo de puntuación, por lo tanto es difícil saber si es "brand" u "odometer brand".
En este caso no creo que sea marca porque eso caería en "Make" (Toyota, Volswagen, etc)
El término "odometer brand" existe. Fijate en este sitio web:

advertencia
As the relevant text of the asker's link states, this is a kind of "buyer beware" warning, so that the buyer will know what has happened to the vehicle under previous owners. It's a kind of "marca de vergüenza" or "tache" against its name. I wouldn't translate it as "descripción" or "condición", because if there are no warnings against the vehicle this will often be left blank or clear, so "advertencia: -------" or "tache: ------" would probably work fine.

Here's an excerpt from Mónica's link:
Mandatory vehicle branding
In North America, the vast majority of vehicle titles are issued by individual provinces/states and territories. Most have implemented some branding scheme to warn subsequent owners of a vehicle of severe damage to a vehicle due to collision, theft or disaster . The brands and the criteria used to assign them vary widely from one jurisdiction to another.
Typical branding designations
Brand Synonyms Description
None (clear), Normal Has not been branded in this jurisdiction. May be a vehicle which has not been in an accident or has been in an accident minor enough that the cost of repair was less than the cost to write off the vehicle. May also be a vehicle which sustained severe damage in some other jurisdiction (if laws between the two differ significantly) or which was damaged and repaired before the introduction of vehicle branding or was damaged or repaired without notification to an insurance company.

https://dmv.ny.gov/forms/mv82.pdf
And I found this one for the State of New York where it says "Office Use Only, Mileage Brand with the letters A, E, N underneath." Here is follows the Odometer Reading in Miles.
This is Maryland: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/about-mva/info/27300/27300-64T.h...
Vehicle Mileage Information - displayed on the title
Odometer reading
**Brand code**
Note: Proof of an incorrect odometer reading satisfactory to the MVA must be submitted before a change of mileage information will be considered. The proof could include:
Letter from dealer explaining why the mileage is incorrect; or
The last three (3) most recent repair orders; or
Recondition report, if available.
A new title and registration card will be issued to you after the error is confirmed.
I am inclined to think it has a direct correlation to the odometer reading mentioned previously.

No branding of titles (can only brand for CAL LEV and odometer A, B or C). A TITLE REQUIRING
ANY OTHER BRAND “MUST” BE TAKEN TO THE MVA FOR PROCESSING.
MARYLAND TITLES WILL BE BRANDED ACCORDINGLY:
a. ACTUAL MILEAGE
b. EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS
c. NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE
Page 72: Odometer/Mileage Reading Brands
Page 86: ODOMETER / MILEAGE READING BRANDS
It is important to recognize the difference between odometer reading and vehicle
mileage. The Final Rule defines mileage as “…actual distance that a vehicle has traveled.” Because odometer readings and mileage can be different, it is necessary to ***brand odometer readings.***
Because there is a lack of common definitions of brands, NHTSA created a national definition of these brands.
ACTUAL MILEAGE
NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE
EXCEEDS THE MECHANICAL LIMITS
Maryland Certificate of Title (page 94)
The front of the Maryland title contains a complete description of the vehicle by year, make and vehicle identification number, body style, odometer reading, ***brands***, title number, exception codes for special conditions (such as JT, TBE, number of axels, number of passengers etc.), gross vehicle weight and gross combination weight, tag fee, inspection date, date issued, and the owner and co-owner soundex. This critical information is protected from alteration by a background of safety block microprint.

: Agree, but as all the references (from 678, Lorena and Mónica), the word "brand" is not specifically related to odometer readings, that's just one of a number of possible warnings. Saludos!//Good point! Not warning, but advertencia or aviso still works.

Thanks Robert, but I must point out that perhaps you did not read 678's entry in discussion box, 5th from bottom. The asker says that the letter "A", which is a code for Actual Mileage is what the Asker has. I would not call it a "Warning/Advertencia"!

Millaje actual-el odómetro refleja el millaje actual del vehículo.
Quedaría con "millaje/kilometraje actual".
http://www.mva.maryland.gov/businesses/_docs/Interactive-Tit...

ANY OTHER BRAND “MUST” BE TAKEN TO THE MVA FOR PROCESSING.
MARYLAND TITLES WILL BE BRANDED ACCORDINGLY:
a. ACTUAL MILEAGE
b. EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS
c. NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE
So, in essence, if I understand correct it refers to "Mileage Brand".
A = Actual Mileage. Perhaps "Categoría/Clasificación: A (Millaje Actual)"?
Yes, it may be related to this.
Gracias.
There is a letter "A" below the heading "Brand" and I think it is related to Odometer Codes. The link below shows a Certificate of Title similar to the one I am translating.

En un principio pensé en la lectura del odómetro, pero todavía no estoy seguro.
