    This being a perfect example as the owner or seller would get done for it as opposed to some dodgy middleman who actually did it.

    No because the person who clocks the car is the one who did it, so they should get done. At the moment they can do it and get away with it because it is 100% legal.

    And people don't ring up "mileage correction" services for a laugh, they ring them up on purpose so as to make their car appear to have driven less and therefore worth more, so of course they should be penalised too.

    To argue otherwise is pathetic IMO.

    OP? Are you going to let us know the outcome?

    Did you follow this up?

    I don't see any reason at all why the person who actually does the "clocking" should be in any way held responsible for the potentially fraudulent behaviour of the car seller/owner. The person providing the "mileage adjustment" service isn't the one who's going to be cheating a potential buyer, the seller/owner does.

    On a different note, you're probably better of with a car that's done Liverpool-London and back twice a week for 2 years has been serviced regularly and has relative starship mileage than with a similar car that's done 50k of boreens and secondary roads and has maybe had one service.
