HPI Calls For Mileage Correction Firms To Be Banned
HPI demand that Government introduce legislation that will outlaw the dishonest practise of Car Clocking and protect the used car buying public.
Vehicle history check expert, HPI, reports a 3% increase in the number of mileage discrepancies it recorded in 2013 and estimates there could be as many as 486,000 vehicles with a false mileage on the road in the UK. Tampering with a vehicle’s mileage – otherwise known as clocking - is a very serious issue.
Today, dodgy sellers are making a fast profit at the expense of innocent buyers by clocking cars, but consumers could lose more than just money if they buy a vehicle they don’t know has been clocked.
Tampering with the odometer may lead to safety issues, especially if a vehicle appears as if it doesn’t need a service, when it actually does. The act of clocking could disguise the need for a major mechanical repair, leaving buyers with a hefty bill if something does go wrong
Contributing to the problem are ‘mileage correction’ companies, offering their services to ‘correct’ – or alter – a vehicle’s mileage. Whilst altering a car’s mileage is not illegal, it is illegal not to declare a mileage change to a potential buyer, sadly a common practice used by unscrupulous sellers.
There are very few legitimate reasons to alter a vehicle’s mileage and despite a call by the OFT for mileage correction companies to be regulated or even banned, there are still more than 50 active companies of this type in the UK.
