Morning all,

Was going through the cars on AT when I spotted this one. Was doing MOT history checks for giggles, but this was something else.
This one has a small discrepancy of around 150k unaccounted for.

Any thoughts why the government lets this happen, or why there are no safety flags raised at the time of MOT?

Probably no one has thought to put a check system in place. That takes joined up thinking!

Another for ex taxi.
It's off the road at the moment, on Sorn.
The mileage change was well before the current owner bought it. Wonder if he knows its real mileage? Maybe he never bothered to check.
I'd steer clear, but at least it shows that Mercs last well after high mileages!

Sad to say, mileage discrepancies of that magnitude are not so unusual.
