" there have been less than 150 prosecutions brought in the past five years, yet it is estimated that two million cars have had their mileage reduced illegally.

The newspaper submitted freedom of information requests to every council in Britain, which have responsibility for policing the crime of car clocking. The results should sound a note of caution for all used car buyers: one in five councils had not investigated a single case since 2012.

A further one in three councils has investigated less than one case a year."

So, for example, you could not clock a Tesla, as it has Tesla monitoring its' data closely via wifi?

Does such close monitoring occur with other higher end cars ? If so, have the car manufacturers acted.

Perhaps with the pcp system , it is arguably such an unstable pack of cards , clocking is another disruptive element they want to bury

No surprise that the councils appear unfit for purpose, a similar lack of prosecution FOI revelation, recently occurred with rogue landlords and councils.
