Digital Mileage Correction


http://dashfix.co.uk/

The website looks like it could be useful if as a tech courier you have had electrical/power problems your vehicle or after having your vehicle serviced the mileage is incorrect.

Is it legal?                                                                          
Yes, adjusting a cars odometer is not a criminal offence so long as you have permission from the owner of the car. It only becomes a criminal offence if you knowingly sell a vehicle that has had it's mileage altered without informing any potential new owner. If we suspect that you might intend to defraud a third party by using are services we will refuse to recalibrate the vehicle.


What the website notice omits to mention is that the mileage recorded in the vehicle's MOT Certificate could have a different reading, so keeping records about the service history or electrical/power problems with the vehicle seems to be sensible.
