Is this proof of fake MOT history?

Altering the mileage on a vehicle is not illegal, but selling it on without telling the subsequent buyer is fraud. Prospective buyers of a second-hand car, van or bike can check the vehicle's MOT history via a government website.

Fraud then, but of the stupid kind as it's easy to spot with a few checks

been crashed/stolen had its original clocks smashed/stolen and a new set of clocks fitted before a fresh MOT.


The dealer must be really stupid to think its only done 200miles, or they are trying to rip people off.

Or got caught :lol:

 

Just shows the power of checking MOT history. Honestly, I only found out about that government website last year, and it was a dealer who told me about it when I was asking about the millage on my current bike.

And it's a free check :)

TANGENT ALERT

when I bought my bike it had only done 15k.(15 year old bike) The guy I bought it from had printed out the MOT history as he only had the bike for about 6 months and hadn't believed the mileage when he bought it :lol: :lol:
