Strange mileage discrepancy - where does INMR data come from

MuffinsDa

So, I'm looking at buying an 05 car, ran a motorcheck on it, and here's what it came back with:

08/09/2008 74,150 Kms (46,075 Mls) INMR
09/06/2008 68,530 Kms (42,583 Mls) INMR
19/05/2008 68,530 Kms (42,583 Mls) INMR
04/09/2007 29,494 Kms (18,327 Mls) INMR
29/05/2007 47,190 Kms (29,323 Mls) INMR
16/08/2006 28,714 Kms (17,842 Mls) INMR
08/05/2006 14,655 Kms (9,106 Mls) INMR
09/10/2005 10,525 Kms (6,540 Mls) INMR

It is a bit strange as clearly the mileage before and after the highlighted line checks out.

Should I be alarmed? Should I bother going to see it or should I run away? what can explain that discrepency?
My suspicious is someone mistakenly entered 29 in the system instead of 59 on that line, does that make sense?

Mistakingly 29494 in km slot ,Kmh instead of Miles

It was in a dealers from 29/05 to 04/09 and somebody incorrectly did a motorcheck

makes sense, your explanation coroborates with ownership change dates:
No. of Owners 3 (incl current owner)
Date(s) Of Sale 09/06/2009
Private (Consumer), 3rd owner
Duration: 8 years, 4 months
24/09/2008
Private, 2nd owner
Duration: 8 months, 16 days
25/05/2005
Private, 1st owner
Duration: 3 years, 3 months

Just in case the OP didn't catch it: 29494 mils is 47190 Km. so the numbers makes sense based on that scenario

My last car had the same. It's almost certainly fine - simple mile to KM error.

I’d be more concerned about the history over the last nine years

Get onto motorcheck and ask them to look into it, they usually pretty good at sorting errors by people who enter readings. Don't rule car out until you're sure the discrepancy is accurate

I'd say no then, although at least it's been serviced.

What car is it that you're looking at?
