How easy is it to wind back the mileage on an L322, just bought a 2007 TDV8 and think I have been done to the tune of over a 100K!

More story needed....

where did you buy it? i called recently about a 2007 tdv8 for sale,it had over 200k on it so didn't bother

If you genuinely believe it has been clocked then you need to get it professionally checked. I would start with a main dealer who can access all the records for the chassis number.

The thing is, it can be clocked but the clockers can't get rid of any warranty claims & associated records it may have had. Then a check with VOSA for the MOT mileages since 2010. Lastly I would contact any previous owners for information

Without divulging too much info in open forum, ALL vehicles can be clocked. It's just that some are more difficult than others. BUT.......nobody (not even the clockers) has a time machine. They can't go back and alter certain records.

I bought it for repair as it had an engine fault and cosmetically a bit tatty but not too bad, fair for the price, seller said no s/h and advertised as 113k general wear seemed to marry up, but found s/h in the glove box indicating over 214k

214000 to 114000 could be a typo. I think to advice on looking at Service Records and MOT are spot on.

Easy enough to check the MOT and mileage history,

Although I am pretty p#*+sed off by this it does have some testament to the reliability of this particular car . The service history that goes all the way to 214k miles and I think it may have done more than that 230k+ is very comprehensive main dealer and all it shows is oil and filter changes, brake pads! wiper blades tyres, and the odd bulb plus a replacement coolant expansion tank. Nothing else appears to have broken or let go in all those miles, impressive!

Girl that worked for me once bought a Volvo which had about 50,000 on it and it was immaculate and looked as if the milage was correct. Her husband found evidence that it had over 120,000 on the clock. The dealer (not a main dealer) had bought it in good faith as a PX and instantly refunded her with full payback even though she had by that time done about 2000 miles in the car. They were very quick to apologise as there reputation was at stake.

I would confront them over it.

Impressive indeed, apart from the thought that all those big things that have yet to fail, might well be fast approaching - if not already having passed - the end of their working life, so who is going to shell out when the big things start to misbehave on this car you appear to have been sold on false pretenses.

It's very simple to acctually clock the mileometer check the ads in any exchange and mart for milage recalibrators! It's not illegal, to sell a car passing mileage as genuine is!
Best bet to find out is go to an mot station and ask them to type the vehicle info into there computer all miles for every mot are recorded! 2004 range rover vogue

I have contacted the trader if I get no joy I will go with Trading Standards. He says he did not know but it seems unlikely as I can see the car in some of his old adverts dating back to late November and the service history was in the cars glovebox

Issued court order today

Would trader not take it back? Or are you making a point of principal?

No he has refused
