• Van purchase advice 18 Feb 2003 (Forum)

• Speeder gets away without current MoT 4 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Is this odd? The car was insured, and roadworthy (passed the MoT with no advisories etc), so it was a relatively minor offence, but you'd have thought the process would have flagged the missing MoT?

• Iveco - KM/Miles on odometer 8 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  Looking to buy a used van, and I've seen one with 280K on the clock, but readout is given in KMs not miles, even though it is a UK registered van, why is that? It is a 6.5T vehicle.  Just wondering is it possible to fiddle the mileage as heavy goods vehicles mileage aren't recorded at MOTS so cannot verify that way.
