What models are most often manipulated by mileage?
UK Study Shows Unexpected Results
The British company Rapid Car Check checked the real mileage of 7 million vehicles on the island, as in 443 of them, ie, 061%, inconsistencies were found. A total of 6,32 million vehicles are registered in the country, which shows that 38,9 vehicles have changed mileage.
It turns out that this happens most often with the Citroen Jumpy, which is sold in England under the name Dispatch .. Incorrect mileage values were found in 2448 out of 8188 cars of this model tested. This means 29,89% or almost 1/3 of all.
In second place is Renault Scenic with a score of 29,51%, in third place is another French light truck - Peugeot Expert., in which cars were manipulated by 28,63%.
The sale of used cars is prohibited in the UK, for example, the seller must notify the buyer of the mileage mismatch. However, there are loopholes in the law to avoid punishment. Over the past 5 years, only 140 criminal cases have been initiated in the country for this offense. Experts point out that mileage manipulation equipment can be purchased online for as little as £ 10.

These figures are significantly different from HPI, which specializes in car history. According to her, in 2016, every 16th car on the road had a controlled mileage, and in 2014, every 20th. The trend is obvious - falsification of mileage readings occurs more and more often.
The company also gives an example - a 2012 Nissan Qashqai with 48km is £000. and for 12 kilometers - 97 pounds. If a crossover has 000 km, its price is already 10 pounds.
