Low Miles ??

I have a 97 GMC 2500 series pick up with 255 thousand on it. trans was redone at 210. Motor is original. Burns a quart every thousand miles.

Ditto, my 2000 Silverado.

Approaching 300K miles. Replaced a planetary gear at 217K, Engine is untouched, and it still doesn't burn oil, either. I credit a steady diet of Mobil One (since new) for that.

I'm a believer that maintenance ( not brand) is the key to longevity.

Prior to this I sold a 1986 Dodge B150 Ram Wagon "Royal" with 301,000 miles on it to a friend Who put another 104,000 miles on it, and then He sold it. Original 318, and 999 Trans, 405,000 miles with no major mechanical issues. It was another Mobil One vehicle. I've since lost track of the van...

I've done the same with a 57 Ford, that I purchased from the original owner back in 1965. I logged 286,000 miles in that car before selling it, with no major repairs.

IMO, "low miles" is a product of previous care, maintenance, and use vs. the alternative.

I've seen cars/trucks with 80K miles on them that I wouldn't touch, and cars with 200K miles on them that I wouldn't think twice about buying.

While odometer readings are a factor when making a purchase, the maintenance records are a much bigger factor, as is the seller's driving habits.
