Has this been clocked?

I'm due to pick up a E86 tomorrow morning and just realised the car only did around 2 and a half thousand for 3 years. Would this set alarm bells for anyone else?

I wouldn't worry. Plenty of people have these as weekend toys. The NMR would throw up any issues

Not at all mine only covered around 2k last year due to 2 cancelled trips and a broken fuel pump resulting in another long trip cancelled and as said above is a weekend toy

My coupe is on just over 47k and has done only a couple of thousand each year for a few years. It's a second car and I work from home.

Thank guys, always good to get a second opinion on things like these.

Not out of the ordinary. Mine did under 200 miles the year before I got it and around 1500 a year for a few years previously.

Similar to me then! Mines from 2012 and not ticked over 1000 yet!

Look at the owner and see how he treats the car.

Our main car has only covered 100 miles /week for ages and would also look a bit iffy if i was to sell it - However its treated with the greatest of respect and would be a good buy if i was to sell .
Likewise the Z4 is in the garage over winter with a maintenance battery charger and covered in a cotton sheet. It doesn't come out of hibernation until all the salt is washed away from the roads.

Again, the recorded miles would make me ask the question!

As the song goes, it's not unusual!

A previous owner of my M did less than 2,000 miles between August 2016 and May 2019

My pushbike has not clocked any miles in the last years

I only did 1000 miles last year

Hopefully more this year
