A long standing elderly customer came in to our garage today with his Scenic. He brings all his family's cars to us for MOT's and his son does all the work. When writing up the details for the job card I forgot to note down the mileage. I muttered it aloud to myself and as I walked back to get the mileage he told me it had done 86,000 odd.

Had a litte chuckle to myself then I noticed a slight discrepancy on the previous mileage history

I nearly got caught out the other day, test done, refusal issued, get into the car to go and move it and I notice Km after the trip reading, which means that the odometer is in Km. I issued a replacement document straight away and when the car came back for retest, it was in miles. That might look a bit odd on the test history.
