Make deliberate mileage alteration (clocking) a specific criminal offence in the UK
Make deliberate mileage alteration (clocking) a specific criminal offence in the UK
The Issue
Under current UK law, selling a clocked car without disclosure is illegal, but the actual act of rolling back an odometer is not. Mileage correction kits can easily be bought online for a few hundred pounds, artificially inflating vehicle values and exposing buyers to hidden safety risks.
The government has acknowledged the necessity of banning clocking as part of the Pay-Per-Mile EV tax (set for 2028), but the discussion hasn’t extended to banning clocking for all vehicles, including ICE.
We’re calling for clocking to become illegal in all circumstances (for both electrified and ICE cars).
