Hi,
Still looking for facelift E320CDI Black Facelift saloon, fully loaded.
Came across a car with last MOT being a year ago with mileage recorded at 160k, a year before it was just 80k.
Seller claims that the car was taken to Europe and last MOT was recorded in miles and in fact it was 100k (in miles) and current mileage is 120k. Last MOT station was actually North London.
How plausible is such explanation? Is it even possible? I thought that you can not easily change odometer from miles to km and such a change, even if possible, would require tools similar to the tools required for mileage "correction" - am I wrong on this? It does seem strange that the car could gain 80k just in one year. What is surprising that their are now advisories at all in MOT history of the car - based on that would look like a superb car extremely well maintained (never seen MOT history with no advisories).
