Most likely cause is a broken speedo cable

I love your reg plate Terry
I would email smiths,they made it so should be able to repair it.
I have used speedy cables,they are good but not sure they can fix an electronic speedo.

Is it a new speedo, as in not used? I just had my tachometer repaired by speedy cables under warranty. Turnaround time is about 3 weeks for a repair
at the moment.
Give them a call and you can talk to one of their technicians to try and diagnose the problem before you send it in.
ETA. Speedy cable/green gauges/caigauge all seem to be basically the same company. I bought mine from greengauges but the repair was done by speedy
and I spoke to the same person both times. I've also had a speedo from a Tvr repaired by the (also smiths gauges in the tiv) so for sure they
can fix it.

Its not new its a few years old, MK have tested it and every thing was working up to the guage so they reckon the guage is faulty its been intermitant
for about a year now.

One of the tricks we used to do was to cut the square end off an old speedo cable and put it in a variable speed drill, stick it in the speedo and see
if the needle or trip moves, if not the guage is Boogerd , if it does move spin drill up to 100mph and wait till it goes past 999999, then you either
have a new 0 mile gauge or a low milage car, not that I would do anything of the sort.
