Wai Ho Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hello, I am new here .Have just got an imported 2008 Vellfire last week. Can someone please confirm that it is legal to have a the original speedometer/odometer in kph and kms with a separate digital speedometer on dash? my Vellfire has beautiful km display panel unconverted.I read that MOT is not bothered with Odometer in kms... I already have Sat Nav , dashcam and the separate didital speedmoter all in miles per hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some don't, and they do pass the MOT. The only issue, in my mind, is that your indicated speed is in Kph. When driving in Spain I had a window sticker to enable rapid cross referencing. I suggest you ask you intended MOT station, just to be sure and give time to find another MOT station or convert the odometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wai Ho Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hi Roger, Thanks for your input. My next MOT due July 2023. I quite like the display .. Speed display is not annoying as I have 3 other appliances showing mph.. MY dashcam on interior rear view mirror, my old Garmin Sat Nav and the digital mph speedometer supplied by the seller.. I suppose I have to make sure every service shop records my reading in Km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
