Mileage Blocker - I didn't know it was a 'thing'

[DrivenToDistraction]

How is it legal to have an inaccurate reading on the MOT cert for the mileage, if you were complicit in the knowledge of that mileage inaccuracy?

I think one company (first hit on google) claims to be 100% intraceable. Madness

I never knew this, but the act of 'clocking' a car isn't illegal in the UK. Its the act of selling a car without disclosing that it has been clocked (i.e. not disclosing the true milage) that is illegal. Seems crazy to me, as that puts the onus on the buyer to discover it. It should just be illegal. Period. The person doing it is doing it purely for fraudulent reasons. The MOT should include a check that can't be tampered with.

I was a bit shocked that this is still possible. Some mileage blockers will change all stored distance values but not all can change ABS ecu, engine ecu GPS/telematics or operator doesn't bother. Radio(number of hours working) can also give an estimate of hours driven and therefore mileage. How many dealers are this conscientious when selling on the PCP returns?
