Thanks all for the advice, I respect mot centers can and do make mistakes but something just does not add up.

Is the mileage stored on the ecu or anywhere else.

No mate just the clocks , give the dealer a call I'm sure they will sort it , if your not happy just tell them to take it back or you'll tell trade and standards cos they should have checked it .

It is Lexus history until 37k, then Mercedes (honest) to 75k then local garages, they have all confirmed the stamps and mileage's as correct at time of visit.

Dealer does not want to know, he says it is genuine and I would have to prove it is wrong, but I just have that feeling that with a nearly 2 year gap something has gone on.

Not really sure what to do as a next step, I like the car and did only pay just over £2k for it but I like my cars to be genuine and I doubt this car is.

When you saying differences what exactly do you mean?mot history mileage and service history mileage will obviously differ slightly as one gives mileage when serviced and the other mileage when mot'd .However they both should give you a rough idea of the true mileage of your car.

Well I looked at the service book and all seemed ok so did the deal, however stupid me did not cross reference the service book with mot's and other paperwork, see below for the differences and the fact it looks like the car was off the road for nearly 2 years yet only did a few miles, something is not adding up.

Picked up a is200 at the weekend, so far so good, picture below I understand it is a rare (ish) colour.

Se spec and 02 plate with low miles.

First post but I have a question, is the total mileage of the car stored anywhere apart from the clocks.

I have purchased a IS200 at the weekend from a dealer and the service is all stamped however after checking with the mot history it has some interesting gaps or differences.

Thanks
