Clocked Mileage
Clocking
Unscrupulous sellers can try to get a better price for a car by clocking it - making it appear to have done fewer miles than it really has.
How AutoCheck helps you spot clocking
Our records can help you uncover clocking by checking the current mileage against previous records. We'll alert you if there are any odd figures (such as a later figure that's lower than an earlier one) - and this happens with one in fourteen vehicles we check.
You can also cross check this data against MOT certificates and service records. Any discrepancies could mean the vehicle has been 'clocked' so it's worth making extra checks. Please note that, as it's not compulsory to supply mileage data, we don't have it for all cars.

Some relevant frequently asked questions
-
I have purchased a Multiple Check and I haven't used them all, why can't I do any more checks?
It is more than likely you have either registered your insurance, in which case any remaining checks will become void, or you have passed your 60 day time limit and your account has expired.
-
If I purchase a multiple check and I do not wish to use them all can I get a refund?
No, a multiple check is so you can check UP TO 5 vehicles. Any unused checks are non-refundable.
-
When does the 60 days start? When I register, purchase or when I check the first vehicle?
The 60 days start from the date of purchase of the AutoCheck.
-
Can you buy a check over the phone?
