I guess the thinking is :-
Low mileage car is generally used in town, lots of braking, gear changing and pulling away from stationary or slow moving. Lore strain
High mileage, motorway use, little braking, few gear changes, steady speed. Less strain
Busses and taxis probably don't match with the above but do high mileage.
Engines are far better now then they used to be and so can do the + 100,000
I still prefer low mileage but then I'm old and remember when engines gave out sooner then they do now.
High miles on a small engine does turn me off
