Or a good reminder that there a f£$%wits out there who'd scam people and make the 2nd hand car market more risky than it should be.

Given the supply chain crisis a lot of new cars are notbavailable in the required specification.  So second hand cars may be the only option.

Buyer beware I guess.

Thing is, how would you know if some f**ker has shaved 50-100K miles off the odometer?

Service record. Receipts for servicing

Look-Up!

Does the NCT not record the odometer reading? UK imports might be a different story alright.

Yeah, I think the MOT records it in the north every year when doing the test.

Advice needed here. I was driving my car recently and went over a series of speed humps at about 60mph. Since then the wheels veer off to the left if I drive without any hands at big speeds. Will it rectify itself?

No, you need to go back to the same stretch of road and go over them at 60mph in reverse.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B
