   some cars have the ecu record mileage aswell as the brains in the dial's but not in this case because if it had been logged in the ecu it would of reset and put the dials true

    Saxo's dont. Mileage is stored on the clocks only.

    nothing much to do apart from buy some clocks with a similar mileage on them i guess, would be cheaper than getting someone to alter the mileage

    no it wont matter tat the mot, nor when they sell it, it only matters if you try and sell it falsely declaring the mileage.

    Friend of mine paid £30 to have his mileage changed. Its not that expensive and most will come to you.
