Bummer. There is a lot of it going about.

Did you buy it privately or from a trader?

Not sure how old your car is but doesn't it show the last 3 or 4 years?

Also we went to look at Pug 206 a few years back, I managed to take down the log book number sneaky sneaky. The current mileage was 54,000, car was in a right shít state when we saw it, last MOT was 154k :lol:

Surely the DVLA should be flagging these clocked motors when they go for an MOT with lower mileage than the year before as it is all in a database.

Its 04 facelift yeah it shows it going up until last mot the miraculously its dropped ... gutted really but may as well make the best of a situation.

set it on fire and drive it through the sellers living room!!

not that it helps now but that's why you should have carried out the check pre-purchase.

Isn't all the mileages recorded on all the previous vosa paperwork?? You can also check the mileage history online after 2011 all the mileages were recorded.
