npection station recorded wrong odometer reading
Took my car for its annual inspection last October. It passed, and I reviewed the certificate briefly and filed it away.
Now I have just renewed my insurance and claimed a low-mileage discount. My broker has e-mailed me to say that he can't provide this to me as the inspection station has recorded a very high reading. On looking at the certificate it's obvious to me that they recorded the kilometer reading instead of the miles - if I divide the number by 1.6 it comes to pretty much what I expected the car to have been at last October. Mrs tonrob took the car for its inspection - and she has a habit of changing the setting from miles to km as it also has the effect of changing the temperature reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius which, even after seven years here, she still prefers for some reason. When this is done there is a little km after the number, but they must have missed this. I plan to go to the inspection station to see if there is anything they can do once they reopen after the holiday. In the meantime I thought I'd come on here and ask if anyone had come across this happening before.:confused: I have no proof of what the mileage actually was when the inspection was done, but if they look at the odometer now they'll see that the reading is much lower than the one they recorded... |

NJ has stopped testing vehicles...so now any old heap of junk is allowed on the roads.

What is this annual inspection you speak of? Is that MA equivalent of an MOT? I do do not think we have that in FL (I hope!)
tonrob, you can get it re-inspected, when ever you want, it'll just cost you the $30 for a new inspection. They'll only review a previous inspection if you failed. |
