What is MOT mileage?
MOT mileage is the odometer reading recorded at the time of a test. It helps compare usage between tests. See what MOT mileage means.
How to interpret mileage history
Look for steady progression. Large jumps may reflect higher use or recording differences. A decrease between two tests may warrant further investigation — for example an odometer replacement or recording error. MOTCheckers does not accuse vehicles of mileage fraud.
