Is a milometer a legal requirement?

 

i believe so

 

I would have thought yes as they write down the odometer reading for your MOT.

But I suppose it doesn't mean they have to work?

 

not that I know of

 

Don't you do MOT's at work Matt?

 

A mileometer is the MINIMUM legal requirement.....you don`t actually need a speedo by law technically...

 

be a bit suspicious come the next year when the mileage reads the same as last years

 

true! Just so long as you have something that can give you an indication of your speed, albeit a revcounter, wet finger stuck out of the window etc etc

 

You don't need it for MOT. I've tested cars before will the same mileage as the year before, If MOT testers are driving cars up the road on an MOT to check mileage and speedo's they shouldn't be. (only to check brakes on 4x4s).

 

yeah

 

I was under the impression that if a vehicle was capable of travelling at more than 25mph then legally it is required to have a speedometer?
