A vehicle’s mileage tells part of its story. Very high mileage, unusual mileage jumps, or mileage readings that appear to go backwards can all raise questions before you buy.
Why mileage checks matter
Mileage affects the price of a used car and may also affect future maintenance costs. A mileage check can help you compare the seller’s advertised mileage with recorded mileage data where available.
Warning signs to look for
- Mileage readings that decrease between records
- Large unexplained jumps
- Advertised mileage that does not match MOT history
- Heavy wear inside the car that does not match low mileage
What does a mileage history check show?
A Full Check from HPI Check Scotland can include mileage history where available, helping you review recorded mileage before committing to a purchase.
