Hi all.
My father's 2000 (X) Laguna is due its second MOT, but a few months ago, the (electronic) mileometer ceased to function (no display at all!). This might be simple to fix, but given the problems the dealer had with the aircon last year it may not be so simple!
So the question is this: is it possible to MOT a car with no mileometer reading?...

In terms of insurers you would have to prove beyond reasoanble doubt that you service the car EXACTLY as the manufacturer specifies at the given service intervals - lots of dated recipts and photos can help but if they want to wrangle out of paying, they will.
All this despite the fact that most garages never do a propper job when servicing.
