MOT - wrong mileage on certificate.

Recommended Posts

My girlfriend had her car MOT'd today, Y Reg, Peugeot 206, 1.4 Auto. The car has a distorted mileage reading, due to a few dead pixels on the LCD display.

 

Now, she's gone in and pointed it out and put the car in for an MOT. The waste-of-space tester has recorded the mileage at 147647 miles, rather than 047647. When she's told them about that, he's said that there's nothing they can do and it's against the law to falsify the mileage! The previous history on the car is showign 3-5,000 miles per year.

 

This only happened this morning, so I want to see if there's anything I can do as quickly as possible.

 

Any help please?

It needs to be done because her insurance company will get in touch and she will have the pay the difference in premium from her quoted 10k miles per year.

She will have done 100k and will be advised to pay the difference/hike in insurance costs.

 

She's not quoted 10k miles a year on insurance?

On my old NA as above, they put the reading in miles when it was actually KM. I reported it on the day of the test and got new certificate the following day.

 

The MOT station will be able to change this without much problem. It looks like the tester can't be arsed..!!
