Dudey52 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) So I HPI'd a car I'm going to see. These are the results, Its a 58 plate 350z with 57,000 miles on it. Looks like a nice example DVLA 25/06/2015 52,000 DVLA 19/08/2011 228,000 BVRLA 14/02/2011 25,486 I assume its just a typo mistake of someone adding an extra 2. Would this hurt the resale prospects of this car? Thanks Edited September 4, 2016 by Dudey52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudey52 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Checking the MOT history - The earliest data is for a test on 24 january 2012 which it failed the MOT. Shows 30,316 miles Reason(s) for failure Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f) Offside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt Reg is BT58 CPU Edited September 4, 2016 by Dudey52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSwin Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Wierdly, my car has the same issue. Jumps up to 254,000 then back down to 30k the year after. Must have had the same person at the DVLA that year. Personally I wouldn't pay any less for a vehicle that had a single discrepancy due to some clown at the DVLA/MOT station having too fat fingers. Although there might be a way to get it changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSwin Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'd say given that it's a 2008 car Id say it was leased on a 3 year lease? And they did they mileage when it went back? Just guessing really but can't see it as a rental, and a rental company wouldn't keep it 3 years usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggalo Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's a blatant error. It wouldn't put me off buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
