Currently looking for a cheap and cheerful shed with goodish mpg. I have no scientific evidence for this but my impression is that Honda Accords on average have the lowest mileage for their age?

Erm... how? :P

In shed territory, forget about mileage. Service history and condition are far more important!

Id much rather be in a 150k mile car thats been properly serviced and looked after. Than a 40k one that gets used once a month and no attention.

I agree under use combined with under maintenance could result in even the best oils no longer working effectively. Condition and service history are the real keys considerations. Very high mileage of 200,000 + may be a bit of a challenge but generally condition and service history.

Honda is a good call also I find there are quite a few old head gasket eating rovers knocking about with low miles on the clock and the odd Nissan micra.
I guess any old car that a beige slack wearing old duffer would drive is a good call, as they are only used once I week to go to aldi and then on to the Darby and jone club afterwards,
