The thing is as you know, with the MOT database now, it's easy to check back as far as 2005 with a vehicles MOT history and the garage are legally obliged to log the mileage at the point of the MOT. If you sell a car that is clocked without declaring that fact, then it's fraud and it's very easy to prove it's clocked using the database available online.
As for clearing the fault, it might be more cost effective to take it to a Volvo Stealership and have them clear it for you. There again, electrics are the weakest of my skills after mechanical stuff.
