yip it can be done. if the bloke has been smart and kept the car clean put new tyres if need be and kept it away from anyone that records the info you cant tell if its been done.

check tyres stonechips seats belts and stuff that wears with even a bit of use like steering wheel stitching etc to find it out. Or do like i did and hand it to a specialist machanic to open it up and give it a thrash to tell you a roundabouts figure for the milage

Doesn't the F1 software record how many miles in each gear?

You're still censored with a manual though...
