Mileage Alteration

Messages

Is there any software that can detect if the car mileage has been altered ?


I dont Believe MOT checker, for example

Car MOT register at

10000 Miles
20000
Miles
30000 Miles

Car mileage at 52000 miles and the owner alter the mileage to 40000 before he/she put the car through mot, so the car is registered at an lower mileage
 
This a car you are looking at buying? It looks suspicious to me as well, walk away.

MOT checker gives the mileage on the car at the time of the test, so do believe it :lol:

Granted it doesn't mean that it's the correct mileage but it's the mileage they see. Easiest thing to do is log the mileages from the MOT checker and tie them up with services and current state of the vehicle. If there are advisories like worn bushes and the interior is proper tatty, for a car on say, 30,000 miles that isn't normal.

If you're that worried, either don't buy the car or buy brand new lol.
