Second-Hand Cars (Mileage Indicator)

HC Deb 02 February 1968 vol 757 cc424-5W

Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Minister of Transport whether her attention has been drawn to recent cases involving the sale of second-hand cars where the mileage indicator has been altered to show a lower mileage and whether she will consider making provision on the test certificate for the mileage on the indicator to be recorded on the certificate at the time of examination.

Mrs. Castle

I am aware that this goes on. I doubt whether requiring the mileage shown on the recorder to be indicated on test certificates would prevent this practice.
