Advice from any professional Autel users

Hi.

I'm looking for help to try to determine whether a diagnostic check, carried out by a garage several months ago, can be recalled, via the software, and reprinted. Specifically, in the report attached, I need to understand if the date shown is the date it was carried out, or the date it may have been reprinted. Strange request, I know, but it's evidence in a court case. Many thanks in anticipation.

Sorry I don’t have a response but it would be a good idea to blur out your VIN number for security

Most likely, yes - I have one of their Autel AP200 Plug in readers that works with a phone; The diagnostic reports generated are saved in the app, and can be exported as PDF.

May be worth contacting them to ask?

They store reports, yes. Obviously, it is only the owner of the device whom has access to the stored file.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't notice that.

Thanks for the reply's.

My question though, relates to the date. Does that relate to the date of printout, or the date of the test. I am trying to determine whether this is genuinely my report. If that date is the when the check was done, it was 3 months after they rendered my car unusable.

The test.

Great. If that's correct, I'm sure that falsifying evidence will go down well with the court

Don't rule out the device having an incorrect local date/time set at the time of the test. The date on the report isn't 100% conclusive.

[Phil-8c2p0]

True enough, but they submitted 2 test reports. The first is formatted differently, and has the correct date, in December, the second one, supposedly showing that they had successfully repaired all the faults, is dated after they recieved the court papers in March.

Ah, fair enough. There's more to this one
