How accurate are these? Would you trust it if it says DVLA mileage?

thanks

I think the DVLA figure is what was recorded at the MOT test so if its advertised as being lower I wouldnt trust the seller.

If the advertised mileage is lower than the last recorded MOT I'd run a mile. If anything it should be higher due to the period of time elapsed since the MOT was carried out.

Aye, suspected that. Just wanted to see did people trust the DVLA mileage on it.
