Well, they might want to know if it has 100k miles or 250k miles.  Of course, condition is what really matters, but the higher the mileage, the more likely some things are bad.  Being able to provide a transcript of service, repairs, and replacements might help. A very few people maintain a vehicle log with miles driven each day and so on.  Rare, but an indicator of the vehicle being taken care of.   mcneely
