When a person replaces their instrument cluster (speedo..) with another. But the mileage reading on the new instrument is much lower.

How does someone explain that when the MOT is done... or when someone compares the previous MOT mileages?

Is there anyway to confirm that the car may be unrecorded.

I have the logbook for the car in front of me and cannot see anywhere it say's CAT C/D.

When purchasing any car, does the seller need to notify the buyer if the car is a CAT C/D?

CAT C - HPI Clear

Just need clarification. If a vehicle is HPI clear, that clearly means that it hasn't been in any accident. A mate of mines just bought a car last week. He has a report which clearly states the vehicle is HPI Clear, but the guy he bought it from said it was accident repaired. What is going on. Will ...

SOLD AS SEEN

What does it really mean?

If someone sold a vehicle on a SOLD AS SEEN basis, what rights has the sellers has and the buyer?

Thanks in advance

Dead Battery

I believe I got a dead battery, as the car has been parked up for a couple of weeks now and never got round in driving it.

But the problem is how do I get access to the boot to change the battery or jump start the car if I can't get in?

thanks in advance
