Ivaan Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Question:- Is it mandatory to have an odometer on a road going car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Well, it's not an MOT requirement, and AFAIK it's not a Construction & Use requirement either.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivaan Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I have an Aim Digital dash. It all works but the odometer is stuck.Aim can't repair as it's too old and the newer units are a different shape, so won't fit the dash ( carbon fibre ) hole.Second hand replacements do come up on e-bay, occasionally, but around the £300 mark.Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc007 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I suspect that, as with many MOT requirements (eg lights) it is not necessary to have one fitted but if they are fitted they must work. I think the only thing that is a requirement is a working horn. Plenty of track bikes whizz around this land perfectly legally with no lights and a day time MOT.

John Vine Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ...it is not necessary to have one fitted but if they are fitted they must work.Well, the MOT Manual for Private Passenger Vehicles makes no mention at all of odometers (working or otherwise). Section 6.7 concerns itself solely with speedometers as a device to indicate speed. No mention is made regarding the recording of mileage.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
