Exactly. If he had avoided paying taxes, he would’ve been sent to jail.
Depends on the car and cost/value/profit ?
£2k is still a fair sum if you're forking it out.
could be wrong but I don't think computers can pick it up as those clocking know to clock keys/abs pumps in particular cars where miles are also stored,Might be a stupid question by apart from the condition of the car how hard is it to spot clocking on a VAG car?
Would the likes of VAG COM pick it up straight away?
I would do the necessary checks ie uk mot history and then phone our mot centres if it has been motd here, but your never guaranteed that some crafty bugger hasn't clocked before mot age and doctored history also. unfortunately with a world full of dishonest people you just have to take a chance when buying used! but 2k is hardly a deterrent for a bloke who seems to have form for fraud

again only thing you can do it mot checks and the way the car is presented.

it will show you the miles coog but will show the updated miles or corrected miles once it is written over it cant be seen again, but yes I got caught out with the kms one time also then realised it was kms and the colour came backYou can see the mileage on the ECU. I've had a couple of VAG cars checked by buyers in the past, all were fine.
For some reason the Cayenne has the ECU odo in KM which nearly gave me a heart attack but worked it out after a bit of panicking lol
