also can the meter read wrong if this is like this ?
and readgiter more units then used ?
also can a meter read more units if the wiring is old ?
or more curent used to blow the main trip all the time ?

It sounds like you need to contact your electricity company or the company that supplied your meter. Old wiring doesn't use more power than new. If the main breaker keeps tripping this suggests a wiring fault which you will need a competent electrician to investigate,
