Here's a New Year's thought......The term 'low mileage" is used as being a plus factor in evaluating a car but surely there is mileage and mileage! Lots of small trips, frequent starts, cold running, heavy breaking, point and squirt driving all contribute unequally compared to the engine/mechanical wear caused by continuous running. So, just for the sake of argument say there is double the mechanical wear on a London commuting 996 to one used in, say, Lincolnshire or Scotland with their wide open spaces. The 35k mile commute London car could, in mechanical wear terms, be the same as the 70k Lincolnshire car. I have no firm data on this but it would be interesting to hear what others have to say. Lots of engines are evaluated by hours used only.
