If the mileage is genuine, why are you worried ?
If it is a fiddle, then you should be !
Good luck

If it`s a newish car with a digital speedo there nothing you can tell him as the mileage is also stored in the ecu memory , so you can`t use the "clocks from a scrapyard " excuse ! the fact that the mileage has gone up might indicate that the 146,000 miles might be the genuine mileage , was this car an ex taxi ?
It is irrelevant what is on the clock as it will still get an m.o.t if it passes the test ( mileage isn't included in the m.o.t test ) .
If your last m.o.t was the new computerised type d.v.l.a will be aware of the mileage from the last test and may ask you to attend to have a V.I.C check ( vehicle identity check ) at your local v.o.s.a centre , they will have a check around your car and issue it with a sticker on the speedo saying that the mileage may not be genuine , if it`s the old type m.o.t then there is nothing to worry about , but any future m.o.t will be based on the higher mileage !

The MOT tester doesn't query or pass/fail the car on the basis of the recorded mileage - it's nothing to do with him/her. They just record the mileage as shown at the time.

Why give a excuse if it is genuine what you worried about. Just say you drive a lot. by the way what is it like to drive ? I having a new 307 next month. But the best was the 306 I thought.

You do not have to give any explanation for increase in mileage only sudden decrease from the previous year , and that would not be the business of the tester , they are only intrested in your money

Sorry officer, I was in hurricane Katrina and have been commuting from my fema trailer in Louisiana all the way to texas every day to my waffle house job.

you fitted another speedo from a scap yard, because the other wasn't working... you did a lot of millage..
They won't care really. if it had gone from 146k down to 60k they would ask a few questions..
good luck with the MOT.

he just records the mileage during the test

If I was you I'd want to know how/why it was able to do this.... If for no other reason than on the face of it it’s now worth ~1/3 of what it was... and presumably what you paid for it....
