Saw a van on eBay, apparently it's at 130k. However, when I went to the check mot service website, the readings from previous MOT's were absolutely all over the shop! This is the van in question....

Any thoughts? Clocked?

That 50K (actually 76550) was lost in one day. Failed 202,248 miles, fixed and retested 125,698 miles on same date 25 May 2016.
then it was tested again in November 2016. I would ask the owner and ask for an explanation.I don't like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.0 -
My guess is it's had a secondhand speedo head fitted for some reason, however if the seller knows the shown mileage is not accurate, then they should be declaring it, otherwise it's deception/fraud.0

It's VERY easily explained...
KM/Mile button on the dash.
2010 - 47k (miles)
2012 - 77k (miles)
2013 - 100k (miles)
2014 - 177k (km) = 110k (miles)
2014 - 117k (km) = misread for 177k?
2015 - 191k (km) = 119k (miles)
May 2016 - 202k (km) = 126k (miles)
Nov 2016 - 130k (miles)
May 2017 - 130k (miles)0
