Mileage History Mar 8, 2013 13:34:12 GMT 1

Post by wally on Mar 8, 2013 13:34:12 GMT 1

Just come across a slight problem. Mileage history is not shown on VT30 or VT32 but is shown on VT20. Why one and not the others?

Customer has a test carried out and vehicle fails, no suprises there.

Vehicle has mileage shown today of say 90,122.

Estimates given to customer for work required which is substantial, he accepts this and work is then carried out.

Vehicle now passes and the mileage history is shown on the VT20. It shows, 120,000, 145,00, 190,000 and todays mileage of 90,122.

Customer is obviously a bit upset that he has spent a fortune on a vehicle that has done 100,000 miles more than shown on vehicle and it is not worth what he has spent.

If mileage history had been shown on VT30 or VT32 then work would not have been carried out.

Any Comments?

Wally

The customer had only had the car around 8 months and the seller is no longer around to pursue. It had been clocked by over 100,000 miles. Wally

I f I'm not mistaken the Euro Regs only require it to be shown on the Pass Cert wally.

This is the kind of thing it's trying to prevent, good point and the feedback may well improve it in future.

Will bring up at next Council meeting, copy post to VTS Council bit please wally

Having the previous mileage on a failures seems a no brainer to me

Last week I tested an 06 Mondeo, that I know I tested, and passed, last year.
When I printed out this years pass in the test history only last years test was on it. It does seem a little odd that an oldish motor with 90k miles has only had 2 tests.
Any ideas chaps ??
