When the mileage or the damage does not add up

A listing can be tidy and still leave out the part that changes the price.

Mileage that goes backwards

Free X Checks shows the mileage readings on the MOT record. If a later reading is lower than an earlier one, that is a reason to look harder. The report does not say why.

Provenance X Check is £8.99 and helps protect the purchase. It includes the keeper, plate, identity and write-off markers listed on the vehicle checks page.

Damage the listing skips

Photos in the appraisal app sit next to the auction brief, so a scrape or a panel that was not in the advert is on the record.

Prep costs from that inspection are what you take back to the seller.

Questions

Does a lower mileage reading prove the car was clocked?

No. It only says a later reading is lower than an earlier one. You still have to look at the car.
