culshaw 1 Posted April 21, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-corrado-vr6-/162038532310?hash=item25ba3fc8d6:g:aikAAOSwud1XAUbl Just done a MOT check and the mileage is inaccurate, is it just me, or is that a bit suspicious? MOT history of this vehicle Test date 26 August 2015 Expiry date 25 August 2016 Test Result Pass Odometer reading 135,503 miles Advisory notice item(s) battery slightly loose offside front Macpherson strut has slight movement at the upper attachment (2.5.A.1c) Test date 6 October 2011 Expiry date 5 October 2012 Test Result Pass Odometer reading 138,333 miles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted April 21, 2016 potentially yes unless maybe they had swapped their gauges over due to a fault with the originals & the replacement had a different mileage much caution required though I would say Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted April 21, 2016 It could just be that the MOT centre have written it down wrong. I've had that before on another car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 21, 2016 Seems pretty fishy to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkR 11 Posted April 21, 2016 It could just be that the MOT centre have written it down wrong. I've had that before on another car. I would tend to agree. Why would you go to the trouble of clocking a car by a few thousand miles? Apparently clocking is a real problem with private lease contracts as people can easily avoid additional payments by having the car's mileage reset.

If they'd been putting 10k a year on the car then 40k's worth isn't an insignificant amount! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 21, 2016 That assumes it's moved much.... which we all know is unlikely with these things! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no MOT history between October 11 and August 15. I assume it was probably off the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 21, 2016 Good point - sorry! :) If the mileage is real, apparently it's only done 7,000 miles in the last 10/11 years! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

culshaw 1 Posted April 22, 2016 Couldn't make it in the end, oh well. It was more to gauge what corrado's were out there than seriously considering it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
