ALMOST ONE in five cars imported from Britain and Northern Ireland have had their mileage changed, according to a study by AA Ireland and car-checking company Cartell.ie.
A random examination of 3,067 imported cars this year found the mileage on registration in the State was different for 18.5 per cent of the vehicles when compared to data held by the National Mileage Register (NMR) in Britain. According to the SIMI 49,253 cars have been imported from Britain and Northern Ireland so far this year, only marginally fewer than the 49,830 imported last year.
