My thought was that everything can be checked online, so why are they writing to me?

2010 car, so would have had 2 MOTs before I sold it. Just had a thought, I drove it with a personal plate, so there may not be MOTs online linking to its current registration number.

Something that is actually joined up. We have a car in the family that is on its 3rd different reg plate - original, personal, original, personal - and all the MOTs show up under its current reg.

I've just had one of these letters for a car I sold 2 years ago.

It asks for the mileage on sale, I have discarded virtually all paperwork for this car now. How accurate do they expect the mileage to be?

Rough approximation, probably nearest 10,000 miles would do. "Somewhere around 50k" would be an acceptable answer. If someone has clocked a high miler they'll wind it back way more than 10k.

I don't suppose the OP is too worried about it after all this time.
