I recently part-exchanged my six year old car with 97.000 miles on the clock. A few weeks later the same car was advertised on eBay with only
69,000 miles, and for about £1,700 more than I was paid for it. It therefore seems that electronic mileage recorders are not infallible! I have reported this scam to Consumer Direct, but I don't know if any action will be taken against the trader. BTW the car was advertised without claiming to have a full service history, which might have given the game away, but I guess even that could be forged. Caveat Emptor still seems to apply!- posted
