Just wondering whether any one can advise in connection with an MOT certificate error? After several months of preparation I got my mini through the MOT on Monday with no advisories. All good to that point, but the MOT test station put in the wrong odometer reading on the certificate - 30,000 miles rather than 3,000. The odometer went through the 100,000 mark and back to zero in the last couple of years. So, they have kindly added 27,000 miles to the car's history.
Frustratingly this happened with the previous owner last year - 16,000 miles recorded rather than 1600 - but in this case a new certificate was issued with the correct mileage, although the incorrect mileage still sits on DVLA records. A second consecutive amendment to the mileage isn't going to look good.
The current MOT certificate was issued Monday, I spotted the mistake Tuesday and went to the test station to raise it yesterday (Wednesday). Is there any way the test station can remove the incorrect mileage completely from the MOT history? How long do they have to correct the mistake - presumably a few days?
The test station isn't be too helpful and suggested that they weren't sure how to amend an error 'under the new system' (?)
Can anyone advise on what I / the test station should do to correct the error without it becoming a permanent feature of the car's history? Thanks
