An elderly relative is trying to sell her late husbands car and is having problems (it’s a fairly old Jag XK) and not having many takers.

She’s tried to sell it through Motorway, but in the process it’s been found that a couple of mileage figures on old MOTs have been entered as Km instead of miles, so the mileage looks too high (64,000 where it should be 40,000 so clearly taken the km value instead of miles.

Does anyone have experience of this and what can be done to correct this? Obviously it’s a bit of a block to selling it. 2021 P400e Autobiography

Hi, there is not much you can do about it unfortunately, i had the same problem with a scooter i had, the mot garage had put the countdown to service as the millage, scooter had only done 150 miles but the mot certificate said 950 miles, i contacted dvla and was told to go back to Garage and get it changed but unfortunately it was a year later i noticed it and you only get something like 28 days to make amendments .I had to get a written letter off the garage to confirm the correct milage and that a mistake was made on the mot the previous year, it did help having this letter when i came to sell it.

Thanks for that. Kind of confirmed my fears. These are pretty old MOTs and the garage involved isn’t being terribly helpful so I guess it’ll have to be a private sale to someone who can see sense regarding the mileage. 2021 P400e Autobiography
