Did your digital dashboard suddenly display the wrong mileage? Has your cluster been replaced or reprogrammed and now shows an incorrect reading?
At Car Keys in London, we provide expert mileage correction services across all of London and the M25, using the latest diagnostic tools for accurate and safe adjustment.
⏱️ What Is Mileage Correction?
Mileage correction—also known as odometer adjustment—is the process of recalibrating your vehicle’s digital mileage display to reflect the true, original distance it has travelled.
Modern vehicles store mileage data in multiple control units (not just the dashboard), including the ECU (Engine Control Unit), BCM, and ABS modules. That’s why professional correction requires advanced equipment and expertise to ensure all data is synchronised properly.
🚗 When Is Mileage Correction Legal and Necessary?
Mileage correction is legal in the UK—as long as it’s done for legitimate reasons and not to mislead during the sale of a vehicle. Common legal reasons include:
📉 Dashboard/cluster replacement or upgrade
⚠️ Electrical faults or software glitches showing incorrect readings
🔁 Module replacements (ECU, ABS, BSI)
🔄 Conversions from miles to kilometers (e.g., for imported cars)
We always advise customers to keep documentation for any mileage correction work done, especially if the vehicle will be sold in the future.
🛠️ How We Perform Mileage Correction
We use professional-grade, dealership-level tools and software to access and adjust mileage data safely and accurately. Our process:
🧠 Scans all mileage-related modules in your vehicle

❗ Why DIY or Cheap Services Can Be Risky
Be careful with low-cost mileage correction services or online devices. Risks include:
❌ Incorrect or partial corrections (mileage only updated in one module)
⚠️ Corrupting your car’s software
❌ MOT errors or failed diagnostics
🚫 Legal issues if not performed properly
At Car Keys in London, we take mileage correction seriously. We ensure all changes are transparent, documented, and safe.
