Clocked Car - Advice?

[Paul O]

Hi all,

A friend of mine bought an Audi A4 last year. He received copies of the 2010 (the first) and 2012 MOT. 2011 was missing.

He just MOT'd it this year and the new certs show previous recorded mileage and there is a descrepancy. The 2011 MOT shows mileage higher than the 2012 MOT.

He is still looking into it and trying to find out if its possible to find the true mileage from the ECU or not (anyone know?), or whether the MOT station could have incorrectly recorded the mileage.

The car was bought from a dealer and when questioned the dealer was able to provide a copy of the 2011 MOT. So two questions... where would they have got that from and where does he stand legally after a year of ownership?

Cheers,

Paul.

Initial thoughts are that without the key/ecu/gearbox mileage, or wherever Audi store it, the dealer will simply say "typo" and there's not a lot he can say about it. A good customer service experience would have them doing a check for free, and taking it from there.
