If I wind back the odo on my petrol car, and don't sell it on, what law have I broken!

Or If my odometer breaks, and I purchase another cluster and wind back that odometer to reflect the actual distance my vehicle has been driven, then the odometer windback is not illegal.

You can do anything you like with odometers. You can even wind it back and sell it, but you must disclose that it has been wound back.

My brother had a honda integra that was 'bottled'. Insurance co wrote it off but left it registered and it was auctioned. I told him to buy it back as the only thing wrong with it was all the little dints looked like it had been through a decent hailstorm, but he decided it was to much of a magnet lol
