KM to Miles Odometer Conversion,
for imported cars.

Why imports need a real conversion

Every year thousands of cars arrive from Japan and the Continent with odometers counting kilometres. The paperwork is honest, the car is honest — but the dash speaks the wrong unit, and UK buyers, insurers and MOT testers read miles. The lazy fixes both cause trouble:

• Display-only switch — the readout shows "mi" but the total underneath still accumulates the old way, drifting from the documents from day one.
• Rough conversions — a hasty divide-by-1.6 that never quite matches the import papers, leaving a figure that agrees with nothing.
• Doing nothing — years of MOT history logged in km against a car sold in miles reads like a discrepancy to every history checker, and that costs money at resale.

A correct conversion writes the exact translated total — and on cars that store mileage in more than one module, writes it everywhere it lives, so nothing disagrees later.
