How can I check the mileage of a used car that I'm buying?

I am going to view a 60 reg Renault Grand Scenic tomorrow. The dealer says it only has one service history dated 2012 and the mileage is 36,000 miles. The cost of the car is £4,995, reduced from £5,495. How can I be sure the mileage is accurate without a full service history because the main reason I like it is because of the low mileage.

You cannot be sure of anything. However, you can check its MoT mileage history here: www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
