But the idea is the GPS speed to speedo is fine. Why is the recorded mileage lower by ~10%?
If that's always been the case since new, I wonder if the car has actually at least another 10k km...

Some time ago there was talk of legal action against car manufacturers based on "optimistic" speedometers (5%-15%). It was thought that the cars were racking up mileage to the maximum listed in the warranty 5%-15% quicker than reality and saving manufacturers money by the warranties ending early. It turned out that while the speedometers had that buffer to prevent unintended speeding, the odometers were accurate. How? I don't know. Measured against GPS? I don't know. Just thinking out loud.
