Clocking check

Every MOT logs the odometer, we line the readings up and flag what doesn't add up

How it works: every MOT test records the odometer. Line up all of a car's readings in date order and clocking has nowhere to hide, mileage that falls, or leaps implausibly between tests, is a flag. Motorworthy runs this check on every car automatically.

Why it matters

A clocked car isn't just dishonestly priced, its service schedule is wrong, its wear parts are older than they look, and its history is a lie. Industry estimates put clocked vehicles in the hundreds of thousands on UK roads. The odometer sequence is the single cheapest way to catch it, and it's free.
