Odometer manipulation, is it possible to alter the actual mileage?

Good morning, COLINPEDDIE000,

I unfortunately don't have any information on your vehicle as we are based in the U.S. and your vehicle is made in Chesire, England, United Kingdom.

You may be able to use a scan tool, but I am unsure as I have never tried doing it myself, we always had them sent out when a cluster was replaced. If you replaced the cluster and need it programmed to the correct mileage the parts department at the dealer can send it out and get it re-programmed. If you bought a vehicle and you suspect it has been rolled back then you can look at its service records or signs of wear that wouldn't coincide with the mileage, like arm rest, steering grip, things like that.

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. You can go right on eBay and buy a tool.

Chances are they drove the car on a trip, how long did they have it?
