wow thats bloody awesome! reasonable too for a report if needed.

shows me my car sat in the country for half a year before getting a WOF... very interesting.....lots of good info actually, kms/day has certainly dropped since I first got it too.... could be a very handy resource

Imported damaged: Find out by purchasing the report
this could be misleading though, especially when it still comes up on a NZ new car as I just found out :lol: thats one way to fool people into buying a report thought I guess 8)

My 20 has had kms go down twice.

"odometer decrease -99,799.00"
"odometer decrease -96,060.00"



Newer cars get their fuel ratings on there too

Boosted_162, yeah that does look a bit dodgy!

i'd say they just omitted the first number on the speedo (if its even there :P)

same deal on my starlet

from 95xxx to 3xxx then they corrected it the next wof, then did it again
from 108xxx to 16xxx :lol:

edit: beaten :oops:

Akanes MR2 with the plate NOGRIP used to have the plate BUMBUM

I'm not a stalker on anything, but it was the first plate that popped into my head.

My levins have nothing interesting to report.
