I thought this was a minority activity. Try typing it into google. It's a whole industry! Looks like a pretty trivial diy job too. Certainly easy enough in many cases to knock a few thousand off before each service/MOT to make low miles look real.

It constantly amazes me how activities which I had always asumed to be illegal are openly advertised on the internet.
Is there actually any difference between mileage correction and clocking?

It's one of those verb conjugation games. I correct mileage, you clock :(

Much the same as I mildly transgress the limited velocity for my automobile whereas you speed.

or ND and I treat "circular one way traffic junctions controlled by timed optical impedence devices with the care required in accordance with its density" and others "jump the lights"
|
Hahah - I think that would be a good defence against a TS10 - who wants to put it to the test?

And why were you searching google for "purveyors of mileage correction services? mmmm?

Just a few thoughts on this. Ever wondered why Car manufacturers moved to digital odometers? The story peddled about when they first came out was "they are more secure, cant be clocked, true record of the cars mileage".
The truth of the matter was that the electronic components required to display digital, dropped below the level of making mechanical components to do the same job, are less costly in labour to fit and weigh less.
The consequence is that it is far easier to change digital mileage, with less skill and leaving no tell tales signs behind than it ever was with mechanical systems.

Where's there's money involved there's always a fiddle - it took the bookies many, many years to overcome the various scams they faced and they haven't achieved it completely even now.

I'm trying to buy a car and I wanted to get an idea how common a practice it is. I went around Cargiant yesterday and there were a lot of vehicles with very worn seats and lots of stonechips yet suspiciously low mileages. I conclude that the practice is almost endemic. So now I'm trying to find out which vehicles can't be easily clocked. Picassos are hard, apparently, due to multiplex wiring.
Nah, go on then, I thought I'd get 10 quid more for my knackered 1992 Volvo 440!
