Either make the MOT required from new or have a sub-MOT milage check. It's a completely trivial problem.

Well yeah - the simplest solution is doing it remotely, which is what they're doing.

I'm not sure how you feel that is that the simplest solution. Building an entirely new way of thousands of cars reporting their milage without fraud or privacy concerns. Versus doing nothing different other than using the data which is already gathered for a majority of cars.
