Incorrect mileage recorded at MOT

[Jewel25]

One of my cars was MOT'd yesterday , but the mileage has been recorded incorrectly. The certificate shows an additional 10,000 miles . Can this be ammended easily , or does it mean a retest ?

From what I gathered overhearing a conversation last week, there’s little that can be done.

 

1. Not able to edit it.

 

2. A retest will show the new mileage, which is what causes vehicle checks to warn prospective buyers of an issue.

 

So you can’t win.

 

I hope someone knows of another idea tho.

I think it can he amended within a certain time frame. There are a few testers on here. One will be along soon.

There is a 50000 mile discrepancy in my MOT history but the service history shows otherwise.

 

I don't think the car has been clocked as there is no tamper dot showing on the speedo.

[meggersdog]

yes, the tester who did it can change the mileage within seven days but it will mean a duplicate certificate

Do people still bother with a certificate?

Our MX5  has been tested by the same place every year.  I spotted this on 6th Sept 2014

 

6 September 2014       Mileage 107,421 miles

30 August 2013      Mileage 106,164 miles

7 September 2012     Mileage 106,679 miles

 

Muppets.

Yes it cam be rectified, I once entered the incorrect mileage on an mot and was able to go back into the system and correct it.

Surely it's the 2012 or 2013 recording that's wrong...the mileage went down.

Does it matter? One of our current fleet, a BMW, has a 10k discrepancy in the middle of its history. My Corvette was tested 6 times with me, twice the tester managed to record the distance in Km, the other four times in miles.

If it has some value and the history is important for resale chase it up with garage, otherwise I'd just forget it.

This happened to the bike a couple of years ago (you can see it on the MoT history C46RPD). They can change it within a certain time limit but by the time I went back it was too late.

 

Meggersdog says seven days but I've got a feeling it may be less than that so go back tomorrow if you can!

 

EDIT: I will accept the seven-day consensus!

Easier than the DVLA, I still have the only motorbike ever to have gone through a time machine, according to the DVLAs refusal to accept that they cocked up and swapped the 4 and 5 round when entering 1954, I have the only bike ever made a full 7 seven years before the company that made it even existed.

my spaceship became a diesel on one mot!

It doesn't matter until you try and sell it to someone following the Daytime TV Big Book of Buying Secondhand Cars.

 

First they'll haggle £500 off, because that's how it's done. Then they'll use one of the apps to check it's not been in any accidents or has a mileage discrepancy. At which point they'll come over all Agatha Christie and act like they've solved a major crime.

Can be corrected, but only within 7 days of the test

Get it amended and it will all show up correct in the history.

 

It happened to me last year and I noticed it on the day of test.

 

Tester changed it that day and I collected the printed certificate a few days later.

 

Not that we really need the printed sticky foot these days, but it is kind of habit really
