Seeing as the sticker has no legal status, the dealer has to agree that they are assuming a genuine mileage, unless they have informed the buyer before hand.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
IMHO if it were being clocked it wouldn't be for such a small difference.
A 5000 mile difference is a couple of £100, unless it's an Italian sports car

The mileage that is entered on the log book when changed hands is not mandatory. the only mileage figures that can be relied upon are from the MOT. you can check all MOT details yourself on the DVLA website.
I agree that it just looks like a typo- 58 instead of 53You're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *0 -

Any sensible buyer will see it for what it is....a typo.
If you're still not happy then imo it's tough luck, you should have either done a HPI yourself before you bought it or asked to see Carcraft's copy.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why then you're as thick and stupid as the moderators on here - MSE ForumTeam0 -
I have spoken to carcraft and they stated that when they purchase their cars do a full HPI on all cars. If it was/is a typo, I should,have been informed by carcraft at the time of purchase about the error, or if it is indeed that it has been clocked, they still then should have informed me. there were no stickers, labels anything to say that there could be a problem with the HPI0

CARCRAFT / Cargiant ... All of them, just steer clear in the future! - Reputable? - Ha...Yeah, right.0

As a buyer the onus is on you to do an HPI check and had you done so you would have been in a better position at the time of purchase.0

Not if the seller says that they have done one and charges you for the privilege. It is not a legal requirement for a buyer to do a HPi check.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
