FWIW, you can pull the pointer off the gauge and put
it back on pointing wherever you want.  So if it's
10mph off at an indicated 70mph, grab the shaft with
very small needle nose pliers and gently pry the
needle off with a flat screwdriver, without letting go
of the shaft (very important).  Then press the needle
back on pointing at 60 or 80 as the case may be.  A
small thing, but you probably would like to know how
fast you're going.  Probably most important to know
exactly where 20mph is for school zones.

As for causes either it came that way or over time the
needle has spun slightly on the shaft from hitting the
lower peg.  I'd say upper peg normally but we're
talking Vanagons, heh heh! :^)
