Wow - that's low. I thought I was low. I'm at 112k for a 1995.

Mines at 78200km or so now, so not so bad :)
You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'.

That is silly low mileage for a 10year old car. 2,550 miles a year - thats not even 7 miles a day. What mileage was on it when you bought it?

Yeah I know. 8) Its not even 7 miles its 7 kilometres a day.

When I brought it in from Japan there was only 22,000kms. The person who owned the car must have only used it as a weekend car.

Or it got a small clocking beforehand to increase the value a few grand.

I don't think it did. Before the car arrived from Japan I was sent the manuals and what looks like the Japanese NCT reports. They are very detailed and you can clearly see the milage slowly going up on the different reports.
I also had Paul Nolan look at it when I got it and he said as far as he could tell the milage was genuine.
