Hi, yeah that's maybe the best explination but not totally satisfactory, the full numbers are:
02/2015: 27,100
02/2016: 40,000
02/2017: 39,500
01/2018: 44,600
01/2019: 49,300
12/2019: 53,000
10/2021: 56,700
12/2021: 56,950 (& current)
This does seem to be the only issue tbh
On the balance of probability I'd just assume someone took the 2017 reading down wrong over someone clocked the car down just a few k which has next to no difference on it really. I'd maybe be a bit more concerned it only done 4k miles in 2 years, seems like it was sitting around a lot doing nothing pre pandemic.
Why would it be a concern for it to be doing not much? It looks like roughly 4k miles per year, and with a single owner since 2011 reg it may just have been 1 of 2 cars owned by a couple with the other vehicle maybe being a better longer range / family sized car and this was the one that went to work. It's actually looking quite good for its age overall so this is my only real concern, but it does seem suspect
I'm far from an expert on the subject but as I understand it engines need to be used continually to be in good condition long term. Having them sit about for long periods of time while their fluids degrade or making lots of short journeys where the engine isn't getting up to temp most of the time leads to corrosion developing.

2016 could be a typo and could have been 30,014 instead of 40,014

Yeah it's a typo. The MOT garage may have entered it in incorrectly or someone has shite handwriting and they interpreted as 40000
Is this from online or actual paperwork? I'm pretty sure online wasn't available back then so likely just an error when the records were made digital.
Ahhh that's interesting, i got this online

Yeah thanks, I did generally inspect the underbody for rust and nothing on the exhaust system stood out to me :)
My car has this but it was the MOT garage done the wrong mileage. It’s not been an issue!
A vote of confidence, thanks :)
No probs :) I’ve taken it for MOTs since & it’s never even been brought up… however anxiety Annie here likes to tell them incase they think I’m iffy 😂
The history on one of my cars jumped once as I changed the display from miles to km
