Please read the following statement from Trading Standards:
If an odometer reading is found to be incorrect an offence may have been committed under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 if the vehicle was supplied to you or offered for supply to you in the course of a trade or business, And if a private individual sells you a clocked motor vehicle then an offence may have been committed under the Theft Act 1968. A breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 is not a breach of contract. Should the trader involved be successfully prosecuted the courts may award you some compensation, that being the difference in value between the true and false mileages. You will find it very rare for the courts to order complete reinstitution.
If you see these disclaimers you may regard the mileage as not genuine:
WARNING - THIS MILEAGE IS INCORRECT
WARNING - CHECKS WERE UNABLE TO CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF THIS MILEAGE
When you are buying from a motor trader look out for a disclaimer, this may state something to the effect that the mileage maybe incorrect and should not be relied on. You shouldn't have to look too hard, because it should be precise, bold and compelling. And if you can't see it then the motor trader is telling you that the mileage is correct. |
