Had a look -- interesting site that !

[Richie London]

ive spoke to quite a few people over this. trading standards are going to look into this and vosa are going to investigate the last 2 testing stations who last carried out the mots. they seem to think a fraud has taken place. no wonder ive had so many leaks (i.e oil and cooling) in such a short time of buying this car. im a bit gutted to be honest and now know in future i can check the car through this site to see if there is anything when buying another car.

i dont seem to be having much luck lately

I bought a Rover 800 from my mate a few years back, which he bought from a guy in Derby & when i had probs with the heater blower i removed the glove box only to find an old MOT with around 100,000 miles less than the speedo read. I rang my mate & we had a right good laugh about it.
It's more common than you think & all too easy to change the miles

not uncommon on omegas.  1 in 4 cars on road are clocked.  Omega (particularly prefacelift) wears very well, so easy for traders to wind 50k off and nobody will notice.

Looked at several myself before I bought MV6 where last couple of MOTs and current reading didn't tie up.  If no history (or history in the post excuse), rang previous owner.  My experience then was probably 2 in 5 Omegas were definately showing inconsistent reading....

That's probably a bit too much information up there for t'internet - I just browsed in as a guest and there's enough there to clone your car good'n'proper  

Nice site though - mine varies slightly from what I thought too  :-/

Not often you see an emissions fail on visible smoke.

Richie,

Edit your post and ****** out the part of the reg and chassis numbers quickly!! This is plenty of info to clone the car and give you even more headaches!!!  

Sorry to hear your bad luck... TBH I don't pay a lot of attention to the mileage on cars, I look at the wear!  

[Richie London]

cheers docker

my facelift is on 109k now, you could set it to 55k and your average buyer would think its genuine!

[Richie London]
