yes they could of thats why its gay having three years before the first mot, but even then people could clock them all the time, but looking at a genuine low miler you can usually tell if its genuine

ifs its got 20k on it and it look like 20k from new and had everythign to prove it was then doubt it had been clocked

Aye correct but you will be hard pushed to tell the difference between a well looked after 100k or 60-70k the latter of which would possibly be "the norm"

yep which goes to show the importance of checking the history,
fords dealers have invoices aswell as stamps in the service book.
some company cars had to keep paperwork for TAX reasons,
may be difficult with a Escort Cosworth to check.
but with invoices all going up you would hope it has not
been wound back
