dodgy MoT ?

[magpies]

I checked the MoT history of my S1 on www.check-mot.service.gov.uk

and it came up with this info from just before I purcheased the remains on fleabay (he crashed it on the way home from the MoT station apparently)

There must have been some serious work done on the evening of the 8th! - but may have been crap repairs as it was rusty again when I purchaes it.

200 miles per year

you've quoted the MoT station numbers - the mileage was 66862 on both because the speedo was broken

I purchased the written off wreck in Feb 09. and part of the rebuild meant a new electronic speedo hence the new low mileage

I actually used the web page to look up the past history of MY own car !
