48K Miles Mark 4

[cruisermark]

just seen this - its at mansell motors birmingham

looks good - but mot history does not add up - what could be the reason?

[Bluesman]

Oh dear we seem to have lost about 45000 miles. I wonder what happened to the original wheels. Mike.

[Spacewagon52]

Are the wheels correct for a 1998 Mk IV?

no they are Mark 3 wheels

[Cotswold Pete]

Looks most odd with the earlier wheels, and a little overpriced as well.

[Titch LS]

It's overpriced because at some point it's been clocked (apparently). The M.o.T. website states the car has covered 94,000 miles. Someone's not owning up to something.

Too many questions for it to remain a serious buyer. Mike.

Mark, you can check any car's M.o.T. record online now. You put in the registration number and the make of car and Bob's your uncle. It's a bit limited on past records time-wise, but any up-to-date mileage of the vehicle is on the data base for all to see (except Mansell Motors in this case).

Here's a link to it. Mike.

I think Mark is referring to the fact there is only one mot on record for this car.

I wonder if the private plate is the cause of this confusion, as the car supposedly has a full service history, and I can't believe a dealer would make such a crude attempt to clock it, knowing how easy it is now to check these things.

[Titch LS]

There's a definite inconsistency there. If you blow up the dash picture it definitely looks more like 48K than 94K. If I was interested in it I would be asking some searching questions based on the last MoT.

car sill not sold and now reduced twice to end at £4550

The MOT check site does have this stated on it.

Some MOT test results for recently transferred personalised registrations aren’t available.
