    My car has exactly the same issue, mileage was incorrectly noted as 100k not 107k one year so drops between MOTs. Service carried out the same month shows the correct mileage so not really an issue. If they changed it retrospectively then anyone could produce evidence to support a clocked vehicle being correct

    I don't think this is in the same league
    Why isn't it in the same league? It's exactly the same although my mileage discrepancy is bigger than yours at 7000 miles not 5000 but otherwise exactly the same.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I had an error on a car I used to own and as it was more than 24 hours when I reported it, nothing ever got done (see Jan 2010 MOT)
