Wrong Mileage recorded on MOT-Problem?

eevie

Hi

I will be shortly selling a car which purchased 8 years ago when it was one year old. I have just been looking at old MOT certificates and have noticed that last year's has the wrong mileage recorded. The fail cert shows 73816 and the 09 MOT shows 63635, the one the year before this 08 shows a mileage of 64701, and my current one shows 80156. It is clear an error was made on the 09 one by looking at the fail certificate and my average mileage. Will this be a problem when I sell?

No problem.

Throw away all the old certificates and just hand over the current MOT certificate.

Nope, just give them the current MOT and destroy the previous ones, there is no need to deliver all of the historical MOT documents, people are only interested in the latest state of the vehicle.

If you advertise this error it would cause a problem, but as the vehicle has clearly not been 'clocked' I see no reason to advertise the anomaly

people are only interested in the latest state of the vehicle.

but will have access to the MOT history if interested online once they have the V5 document number
