Picked up the wife's MX5 from the place I take all our cars to for MOT's and noticed that the mileage since last year has gone down, from 106687 last year to 106128 this year.

I can't say I checked last year, but they reckon "There's not a lot we can do, (now), soooorrrry"

All looks a bit st, especially as it's on a classic limited mileage policy, and they'll ask me the current miles, and I'll tell them a figure lower than last year, which I will have just read of the MOT cert, as the insurance is due 5 days after the MOT.

I'm guessing it should have been 105XXX as the Previous year was 104XXX and the year before that 102XXX

My old Fiesta has a similar mileage discrepancy on its MOT records.

I can only assume it's a cock up as nobody would bother clocking a car from 112,000 to 109,000.

TBH when it's as old as that everyone is going to value it on condition.
