How can you check if a cars mileage is genuine, if there's no (little) history?
In short, you can't.
You can look online at the last few Mot's to see if there are any discrepancies but it doesn't prove anything.
My RA for instance has done about 10 miles between last year's test and this years. To someone looking online it could appear that it's had a few miles pulled off it, but infact it's just been parked in my garage being worked on.
Thanks fellas... Also on another note, if the clocks are changed from KPH to MPH do they change the mileage to represent Miles instead of Kilometres too? So Mileage would jump from 40k kilometres, down to 20k miles (or whatever 40k km is in miles)?

No not usually.
However I did own an evo 3 a few years back where this had been done. It was all documented though.
