car mileage fondling

[cheesyboy]

My 2009 A4 cabrio roof always fails to open all the way if I try to use it in the work car park: I think it's because it's a fairly steep downward slope and that upsets it in some way.

Otherwise it's fine, which has been a nice surprise with such an old convertible.

My 09 mx5 folding hard top works fine in all seasons, though I do say a prayer every time I press the roof button.

lol my 03 SLK's folding roof was 100% fine right up until I sold it in 2020. And it's still fine (I know the buyer). Going to use it a bit in June when I visit SA...

the older mercs have a habit of the battery dying and when charged/replaced the settings have restored to km rather than miles. Probably wasnt spotted and the mot tester will test as presented

Annoyingly I didn't spot a mileage error on one of my MX5 MOTs so one year that has apparently done negative mileage

Anyway, it can happen but as with my one it looks like someone has just miss typed with their oily sausage fingers.

It seems this was the case!

Judging by the consistency in the MOT history, I'd say that mileage input is an error

A hell of an annual mileage increase we’re it something dodgy, I’m assuming the service history backs up the mileage?

Almost certainly a typo I think you’ll find, especially if there was no change of ownership during the year - which would be the most likely scenario for the mileage to go up tenfold.

I wouldn’t personally be losing any sleep over what I’m seeing here.

39550 fits ok with the theory.

Maybe they drove backwards for a year?
