Hi Guys
I have been more of a "background member" until now but really need your advice as you all seem a great bunch of guys.
My father won a car auction on ebay the other day for a Golf gt tdi. 2007 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT SPORT TDI 170 GREY on eBay (end time 22-Mar-11 19:13:27 GMT)
Anyway we went down today and collected the car, and have returned from the 520 mile round trip. When we got in, my dad was looking at the mot certificate and noticed there was an advisory issued. So i went online to check the history and to my horror discovered that there was an mot certificate issued in August with 133000 miles on the car. The car is only showing 48000 miles and i HPI checked the car before we went to collect it with the report saying "No mileage discrepency is currently indicated by the national mileage register"
Now my question (obviously) is am i in and, ANY!!, position to sort this out? Doesnt hpi.co.uk offer some kind of insurace for this? Also ebay? The car was even provided with the service booklet stamped by dartford volkswagon for 16 and 38 thousand miles only and the 38 thousand mile service was on october 2010.
But then i did another hpi check on mycarcheck.com and this came up:
We have the following mileages recorded for this registration:
PS i have a 2002 s3, that is why you guys are unlucky enough to be reading this
