Carly Diagnostic shows milage discrepancy. Can it be wrong?
Purchased a 2017 E Class Estate. Spent its first 3 years licensed as a taxi, which is fine, as I use it as one anyway. The odometer reads 124k (200km), but Carly says the Command reads 536km!
The car came with a Merc printout from the trader I purchased it from, and I did a HPI to check milage etc. It dropped miles during covid, which is plausible. But look at the car, I find it hard to believe it’s done a solid over 100km per year since ‘birth’. I do 1000 miles per week myself, so I know how hard going that can be.
ultimately the types of repairs will tell you the true mileage, in particular the:
transmission converter,
propeler shaft clunks,
rear diff bearings noise,
loose front end suspensions,
steering freeplay...
there's should be a significant difference between a 100K and a 500K Km Estate vehicle, even more so if Miles instead of Kilo-Meters
You can use a Xentry Star to access the car data with official tool then you'll get the true numbers for sure. Good luck with any recourse against trained scammers.

Can Carly be wrong?
If the lowest mileage is the mileage you bought it on you have a cheated car with a CAN filter hooked up
Mercedes E220d AMG Line Estate (S213) and Mercedes E220d AMG Line Cabriolet (A238)

Would it be correct to assume that if the car had been "more professionally" clocked unsing STAR or similar that all of the mileage recording places would have been reset to the new value, not just the odometer?

you can not do any changes with DAS
and yes, just the odometer
