And that's why I'd never even consider buying anything from Gumtree... It's the equivalent of going buying a car off the dodgiest, scummiest council estate you can find.

That's why a taking some time to check the history is always a good idea!

No, in theory he's not done anything wrong, he could just say he didn't know the clocks have been changed at some point. Its done nearly 170,000 miles, so thats alot more than listed.

Lol good thing you weren't buying it. Check someone else to check you next car over

Given that discrepancy you would think the MOT authorities would be asking questions or putting something on the certificate to explain the change in mileage ?!?
