I'm looking at buying a van from a trader, because I get a good PX price for my car and warranty with the van, but checking the MOT history the mileage doesn't add up! I get an MOT tester might have sausage fingers once, but three times in a row?

It could be, I just wish folk weren't so forgetful with the truth when selling a motor. Its a decent vito as well, with s/h, thats only just had it's first bit of welding done.
