What Car? Q&A - How can I tell if my car's clocked?

Q: When buying a car, is there anyone I can contact to find out the true mileage of the car?

A: When buying a used car, getting an history check carried out should help you find out whether the mileage is true.

It will also alert you if there is outstanding finance, and tell you whether the car is stolen or has been written off.

These cost from around £20. For more information, visit: www.autocheck.co.uk/whatcar/?persist_AffiliateId=29
