Mileage porkies
Discussion
Been going on for years. It's a way of avoiding the mileage filter. Obviously they think that people looking for a car with a maximum of 20k miles will also be happy with a car with over 100k on the clock.
Same as when you go looking for a bargain sub £1k car, and you get a load of nearly new cars listed at £350, but the advert states this is just the deposit or the monthly cost.

They do the same with price. You will see a car listed as £900, then when you read the text it says actual price is £9000.
If I'm looking for a £900 car using the price filter I'm hardly going to be suddenly persuaded to buy a £9000 one just because of their advert. Same with mileage. If I want a low mileage car, manipulating the filtering system is not going to make me buy their high mileage car. If anything this tactic would put me off opening up their ad.

Which must be pointless.Who is looking at sub £1k cars and suddenly decides to up the budget by £8k?
