Sounds like you must of sold it to Marty McFly who modded it with a flux capacitor to wind those miles away.

I suppose the problem with the car was because it was cherished by Carl, its condition was probably far better than the original mileage would suggest. The person who purchased it probably had no reason to question it.

Yup, I feel sorry for those people who take a punt on a car believing it'll be sound. My mate bought a Passat last year, 3 years old with 76,000 on the clock, private sale from a guy who bought it from a leasing company 1 month previously. The full service history was with the leasing company, but the car was so immaculate inside and out my mate never expected it to be clocked becasue the mileage was well above average for it's age. The company sent on the FSH after he bought it, for the car which had an odometer reading of almost 150,000miles at its last service three months previously!!!
I don't thjink that Passat was ever stationary in those three years! The FSH was very comprehensive though lol. It was on it's 3rd timing belt!

What spec/colour was the car? It was Carls old 16v that had a full repray in some shade of metallic blue. I think the guy who bought it off carl damaged it shortly after as well.

I have an 8yr old 20vt with only 46k on clock. Has every receipt,full service and all the previous mot certs! So not impossible or am I just lucky lol Belonged to an old farmer I am not saying that low mileage cars dont exist, just that low mileage cars with no or part histories are 99.9% clocked. even ones with low mileage and just dealer stamps with nothing else to support are likely to have been clocked. rubber stamps and log books are easy to come across . and at least you have evidence that your car has done that mileage from more than one source (mot, receipts etc)

I would much rather have a folder full of receipts and MOTs, than a book with some stamps in it.

Didn't it get starved of oil? Well done Vicks. Yes the prick sold the car because he emailed me one night....... Basically asking what oil it uses because the oil GAUGE not the dipstick had gone low and the top up light was on. So i explained thats actually the pressure gauge, got ratty, anyway, engine was basically shot, had used with the light coming on a 0 bar for a day. Put 3 litres of oil in and it went on the forum for sale about 2-3 days later. Yes the front lips got whacked off, in 4 weeks, 8 inch of the bonnet bashed and the n/s rear quarter. So the so called perfectionist who thought he had standards better than myself (had a shock when he viewed the car) ran it OUT of oil, smashed the lips off, bashed the bonnet and blamed the postie and the n/s quarter. I get fccccuked off this happens when i put soooo much effort into the cars, that when it left was without doubt the best 16v there is. Now, well its done 30k in reverse, history (about 10 stamps and 3k in reciepts) will have vanished and some slob has flattened the drivers seat

Well it's somewhat a compliment to your good work Carl. Someone must have thought the paint looked so nice that they could easily wind back the clock a fair bit and nobody would notice
