While that's a lot of driving (you have my sympathy - I too had a Mini with sliding windows and quiet and refined it wasn't) it's still less than an average of 70 miles a day. So (officially
) that's about 30 miles a day short, and even if it was 100 miles a day it needs to be kept up at that rate for about another 220 months.
.
I can see the required number of miles being kept up for a few years but not for 20ish.
Maybe it's just numbers and no one has actually done any checking and happily given it to the press
. It would be interesting to see something like MoT and/or the servicing history with mileages recorded.
