Their Mercedes fleet was acquired by lease purchase which would come with an agreed annual mileage :roll:

I have read somewhere in the last year that there are many in this trade in a similar position so this is probably the tip of the iceberg

Normally, the court was told, you would expect mileage to increase chronologically but investigators found “rather significant backward steps”. It became clear to Mr Jackson that the shown mileages attracted suspicion.

How very strange. :-k

The head of a criminal gang who ran a chauffeur company for first and business-class passengers of Emirates Airlines was jailed for three years yesterday for his role in a serious fraud.

John Murphy, 68, was in charge of a conspiracy to “clock” cars at Professional Chauffeur Services (PCS), Liverpool crown court was told.

An investigation by Trading Standards revealed that Murphy and four other conspirators had wiped more than seven million miles off the odometers of about 100 chauffeur vehicles.
