Mileage & Clocking Check
Spot a clocked car before you buy. We compare the mileage readings recorded over the vehicle's history to flag any inconsistencies.
Run a Mileage CheckClocking — winding back a car's odometer to make it appear to have covered fewer miles — remains a common used-car scam. A lower mileage can add thousands to a car's value while hiding serious wear.
Our mileage check builds a timeline from the odometer readings recorded at each MOT test and other reported sources. If a later reading is lower than an earlier one, or the mileage jumps implausibly, we flag it as a potential anomaly for you to investigate.

Frequently asked questions
What is clocking?
Clocking is the illegal practice of altering a vehicle’s odometer to show fewer miles than it has actually covered, making it appear more valuable and less worn.
How do you detect a mileage anomaly?
We order every recorded mileage reading by date. If a later reading is lower than an earlier one, or the jump between readings is implausible, we flag it so you can ask the seller for an explanation.
Is the mileage check included in reports?
Mileage history is included in the MOT check, and mileage-anomaly flagging is part of the Full HPI Check.
