    So I did a vehicle check on an imported car I was going to buy in Kildare and it showed up that the mileage was 66,000 on a DVLA in June but the odometer showed 63,000ish when I drove it during the week. So before I cry foul is there any genuine reason this may be the case?

    Not even if it was driven 3,000 miles in reverse Ray.

    Seems a bit odd and pointless to only shave a small amount of miles off it if it were clocked. If it were displayed 63k km instead of miles when you test drove it during the week then that's a different matter.

    Is it being sold privately, a dealer from a yard or a reputable dealer?

    could it be possible that its 68,000 and the digital reading isnt showing correctly as in its faded over part of the 8?
