Thank you for your valuable input. I am unaware of your location, but there's a process we call the vehicle check, known as MOT. The last official check was in October 2023, indicating a mileage of over 28k. This data is recorded in the system. However, around 46k, the speedometer encounters a fault, leading the owner to a non-dealer garage for a fix. It seems the intention is to avoid the hefty cost of replacing the part, opting for a used speedometer showing 80k.As of now, there's time for the MOT renewal in October 2024. If I can't correct it by then, the system will register whatever is displayed on the clock. There will be no turning back from that point. Changing it after October 2024 would likely be considered fraudulent. I am simply striving to ensure an accurate reading on the clock to maintain the car's value, which seems fair for me to pursue.
