Am I reading that wrong or does it really say it's done 2,552 miles?!

The clocks on the fiesta only go to 99,999miles, I suspect its done 102,552 miles which has caused it to start from zero again.

Hm, never had a car which won't display 100,000 myself.

Always thought it was a bit strange but my old T plate Fiesta only went up to 99,999 miles. I am sure not long after they went to digital ones that would go past 100k

escort vans are like this too. odd on vehicles that are always going to do high miles

Camalot · 8 Nov 2008 at 18:41

Resets after 100k, so its done 102k miles

The Dolomite is another car that doesn't go over 99999.

The dolomite wasn't intended to though

Sounds like its all passed and is fine. Should be times on the certs? Whats the times on the pass & fail one?

Neither have I untill I got the vectra, nova's dont go past 99,999 either (not that it matters anyway, with them being so easy to clock).

To be fair to it, the Dolomite was a beacon of excellence in a sea of.....well, the **** that BL was churning out at the time. Which I know doesn't say much....

Camalot - looks like the car passed after a partial re-test to me.
