If you drive really fast in reverse for a year...

I bought Mazda Amy without caring about the mileage. I mean, there's a pretty low overlap between people who care about how many miles a car has done and people who buy completely rotten cars from 1987. But while cleaning the interior, after five years of owning this car I checked it on a whim. Just under 63,000 miles! That seemed remarkably low for a 33-year-old car, even if it did spent 13 of those off the road.

Today, I was looking at the history of my car on the government's free MOT history check website, and well:

That would explain that, wouldn't it. 😶
