Mileage Correction Services

At Autotech UK, we understand the importance of accurate odometer readings, especially for vehicle enthusiasts and professionals involved in vehicle testing, tuning, or other controlled activities. However, when it comes to traditional mileage correction, it’s important to note that we do not offer mileage correction services for vehicles manufactured after 2018.

With advances in automotive technology, most modern vehicles have robust digital odometers and anti-tamper systems that make traditional mileage rollback methods outdated, ineffective, and in many cases, illegal. The newer vehicles are equipped with encrypted software, making mileage correction not only difficult but also detectable by dealerships and service centres.

Introducing the New Style of Mileage Correction: Mileage Blockers

Instead of outdated mileage rollback, we offer a modern, safer, and more discreet solution: Mileage Blockers. These devices are designed to prevent the odometer from recording unnecessary mileage during certain activities, such as vehicle testing or track days.

Mileage blockers are harder to detect than traditional mileage correction methods, and they operate by pausing the mileage count when the vehicle is in use under specific, non-road conditions. This ensures that your vehicle’s odometer reflects only the miles it accumulates on public roads, which is essential for maintaining the car’s accuracy, especially during activities that do not represent everyday driving.

Are Mileage Blockers Legal?

Yes, mileage blockers are legal in the UK, as long as they are used ethically and not to deceive buyers or misrepresent the vehicle’s history. Unlike mileage rollback, which alters the odometer to show fewer miles than the car has actually travelled, mileage blockers simply prevent the recording of mileage under controlled circumstances, such as testing or tuning.

This makes mileage blockers a more ethical alternative, allowing vehicle owners to maintain accurate mileage while ensuring the car’s value and condition remain honest and transparent. It is crucial to disclose any use of a mileage blocker when selling or transferring ownership of the vehicle.

Why Choose Mileage Blockers Over Traditional Mileage Correction?

  1. Safe and Harder to Detect: Mileage blockers are much less likely to be detected by dealerships or during vehicle diagnostics compared to traditional mileage rollback techniques. They work in real-time by stopping the odometer from counting miles in specific non-road environments.
  2. Maintains Vehicle Integrity: By using a mileage blocker, you ensure that your vehicle’s recorded mileage reflects only road use. This is especially beneficial for those who frequently use their vehicle in testing environments, such as on dynos or during performance tuning sessions.
  3. Ethical and Legal Solution: Mileage blockers are a legal and ethical solution when used transparently. While traditional mileage correction methods could lead to legal consequences, mileage blockers allow you to manage your vehicle’s usage honestly without tampering with its history.
  4. Ideal for Testing and Tuning: Whether you’re fine-tuning a high-performance vehicle or conducting tests, mileage blockers help preserve your vehicle’s mileage accuracy, protecting its value without resorting to rollback techniques.

What Happens When You Remove Mileage Blocker

When Is Using a Mileage Blocker Appropriate?

Mileage blockers are an ideal solution in situations where a vehicle undergoes non-road use, such as:

Track days or racing events

Performance testing or dyno sessions

Prolonged idling or non-road demonstrations

By using a mileage blocker during these scenarios, you can ensure that your odometer reflects only road mileage, protecting the vehicle’s resale value and ensuring accurate service intervals.

Transparency Is Key

While mileage blockers are a safe and ethical option for managing non-road mileage, it’s important to be transparent when using these devices. Always disclose any use of a mileage blocker when selling or transferring the vehicle, ensuring that any buyer understands how the device was used and that the vehicle’s mileage accurately reflects road usage.
