Hi

I just bought my next BM but through an auction (online).

I bought it through a friends account online by bidding on a live auction.

I did a very quick basic check of mot and mileage through the dvla site and was happy and the auction do not put outstanding finance cars through and would state if it was a repaired car.

Anyway now that i bought and paid for it and pending pick up i revisited the mot dvla website and missed a glaring issue with mileage!!

it failed its last mot due to tyres but passed a few days later but the problem is the mileage when it failed was 78,550 and when it passed showing 58590 a difference of 20,040 miles.
You would have thought an MOT station would know the mileage when it failed a few days earlier as this gets recorded?

now im thinking the mot place could have simply made a mistake and put in a 5 as opposed to the 7 but if this is the case how do i go about rectifying it?

ive contacted Manheim and they've said the the mileage was not warranted so basically cant do anything. although it only stated not warranted on the invoice and cant remember seeing it on the description before the auction.

Secondly it has no service history so could nothing to compare it with.

But on the description sheet it said 'waiting on information' under the service history section but did not state NO SERVICE HISTORY like they do if a car definitely has no history.

Also during the auction i've heard many auctioneers clearly state when a car has no history as this obviously has a bearing on its value and at no point did the auctioneer state the vehicle has no history and i honestly thought there would be service history be it they are waiting on it!!

Any advice what I can or cant do in this situation??

Thanks in advance.
