Motorhome Mileage Check: Spot a Clocked Motorhome (£9.99)

Motorhome mileage check

Written and reviewed by our experienced team. Last updated 26 July 2026.

A motorhome mileage check compares the recorded odometer readings from its MOT history to spot clocking, where the mileage has been wound back to inflate the price. If a reading is lower than an earlier one, or the pattern is inconsistent, that is a serious warning. CaravanCheck shows the full mileage history for £9.99.

How clocking is detected

Every MOT test records the mileage. Plotting those readings over time should show a steady climb. A reading that falls, or a sudden implausible jump, points to clocking or a swapped instrument cluster. Motorhomes cover low annual miles, so even a small discrepancy stands out.

Low mileage is normal, but verify it

Genuine motorhomes often show low mileage because they are used seasonally. That is fine, as long as the MOT history is consistent and the condition matches. Suspiciously low mileage with heavy wear is the warning sign.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if a motorhome has been clocked?+

Compare the mileage recorded at each MOT. If a later reading is lower than an earlier one, or the jumps are inconsistent, the odometer may have been wound back. A history check plots this for you.

Is low mileage on a motorhome a bad sign?+

Not on its own. Motorhomes are used seasonally and often have genuinely low mileage. The concern is a mileage that does not match the MOT records or the physical condition.
