If you change the dials on a car for brand new ones does it matter if the mileage is wrong? Obviously the mileage on the MOT's wont match and I am wondering if this is illegal or not. Or if there is a way around it

So if I swap the dials I can still get it MOT'ed? That would make my project a lot easier. |

That will be fine. It's only illegal to misrepresent a vehicle's mileage.________________________________________ Rich |

It's only illegal if you go on to sell your car and claim it's a lower milliage than it really is. |
