Mileage recorded at MOT tests

MOT records can include the vehicle's odometer reading at the time of the test. Looking across several tests gives you a useful record of how the reported mileage has changed over time.

What if the mileage goes down?

A lower reading on a later MOT is worth checking, but it does not automatically prove that a vehicle has been clocked. Recorded mileage can sometimes contain errors, so review the surrounding MOT records and other vehicle documentation before drawing conclusions.

Checking the mileage of a used car

When considering a used car, compare its current displayed mileage with previous MOT readings. A consistent history can provide useful context, while unexpected changes may be worth asking the seller about before you buy.
