What Clocking means for you
Selling a car without declaring that its mileage is wrong is an offence, so a clocked car can cost you money and trouble. The classic sign is a drop in mileage between MOTs. Computerised MOT records go back to 2005, so the history is usually there to check.
GetFreeCarCheck's free check shows the mileage at every MOT and flags clocking warnings. Compare it with the average of about 7,100 miles a year. If the numbers don't add up, ask the seller to explain, and walk away if they can't.
