A woman says she is taking legal action after discovering the van she bought had done more than 250,000 miles - three times as many as shown on the clock. Madlen Mierzwiak, 45, bought a Peugeot Partner van for £3,650 from a trader in London in August.
She wanted to use the vehicle for work, and saw on the dashboard that the 2008 reg had done 79,790 miles. But, when Madlen took it in for a service, she says she was told the Peugeot was riddled with problems.
And, after investigating further, she discovered the van had been 'clocked' - listed as having done more than 250,000 miles two years earlier. An online MOT search shows that the van's mileage was listed as 257,310 on May 5, 2020. It is then listed as 76,895 on May 8, 2021.
