Shaun Williamson is promoting an awareness campaign for Cazoo concerning car clocking, which is the practice of making vehicles appear younger than they are. Cazoo conducted a survey of 310 used-car dealers across the UK, finding that 81% consider mileage fraud a serious industry issue. The survey also estimated that around 14% of second-hand cars encountered by dealers may have had their mileage deliberately altered.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The campaign highlights growing concerns over the integrity of the used car market. Cazoo is calling on the public to support a petition aimed at closing a legal loophole and making the deliberate alteration of a vehicle's mileage a criminal offense. Dealers surveyed noted that 60% believe instances of vehicle clocking have increased in the UK over the past five years.
