The mileage for the year tells me that it has probably spent a good long time being re-built in a workshop...
But I am slightly cynical.

The wear on the top of the gearstick gaiter is inconsistent with the mileage too, though the wheel, pedal rubbers and seats look okay. I agree the mileage looks too good to be true for the year.
I had noticed the wear on the gearstick gaiter. Im guessing that any mileage check would only tell me what miles were recorded at the time of each mot so had one of the owners wound back the mileage prior to each mot it would be untraceable. I also thought with it having 3 owners, the chance of all 3 being the type that did minimal mileage/year is slim.

What's the one on your Cav like ? The gaiter on mine was worn "white" when I got the car at 80K and hardly looked any different at 150K when it was scrapped - I assumed it had deteriorated very quickly.

It's a little worn white around the top. But then I change gear using the knob, not the shaft :)
Ooooo, matron !
