Tonight i was looking to see where my car had come from so i done an m.o.t history check. On the latest M.o.t the mileage was supposed to be 116,130 instead its down as 11613. Do i need to inform the DVLA or do i just wait and correct it at the next m.o.t?

Thanks.

I had this once and went back to the garage that issued the MOT and they corrected on the system and issued a new MOT

Real answer as I've had this problem myself:

Find out where your nearest VOSA Office is
Call them
They'll tell you to send the certificate with PROOF that the mileage is wrong. I sent a copy of my invoice and a photo of the clocks.
In a week they will send you back a corrected ceertificate and will update the national computer (which matters more IMO)
