Mot'd my car yesterday. The new mot Cert shows the 5 years of recorded milage on the front.

2011 95263
2012 95261

FFs it now looks like I've clocked my car and done 2 less miles in a full year.

Grrrr

Check everything every time

Take it back to the MOT place, point out their mistake...not rocket science is it.

At least the flux capacitor's working.

I had a similar thing a few weeks after I bought a car. Had to get proof of the mistake from the garage and go to a VOSA yard to get the records changed.

Why didn't I think of that?

I did they say it can't be changed

The garage that did it are supposed to be ringing me back. But they insisted yesterday that what's done is done.

It can within 24 hours. My MOT station did the same thing with my bike - they took the km reading instead of miles, looked like I'd done about 30k in a year, muppets. Thankfully they could change it.

Failing this, you could make an appointment with a local DVLA inspection centre (google) and they will rectify it for you.

They got the reg wrong on mine one year. I didn't spot it but the DVLA obivously did because they re-issued it with the correct reg. Not sure if that's relevant but it shows that it can be changed.

Lol - didn't see that hehe

How long have you had the car? It's clearly an error - do you have any other servicing documentation with the car?
