Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to protect consumers by tackling the use of odometer adjustments to reduce the mileage shown in cars.

Mileage fraud is an offence and is dealt with by local Trading Standards enforcement. Government requires the vehicle mileage to be recorded on the MOT form. This allows consumers to check previous mileages for a vehicle on line at the GOV.UK website.
