Yes. I wondered the same thing about mileage- nice to be reassured that it isn't the be all an end all.

I would also be a little bit concerned that an inspection 2 has already been completed at very low mileage. So this too me would indicate the car has been used a lot as it is CBS serviced.
My car had 63K on the clock and the stamps in the book are PDI, Oil, Inspection 1, Oil and now currently has 3 green lights and Inspection 2 due as the next service.

My first Insp 2 hasn't happened yet - car on 54 000 miles - still have 3 lights left so likely to be around the 68K mark I would think, perhaps a little more. Mileage really isn't everything - our 2001 VW Caravelle is nearing 300 000 miles (!) and is still a pleasure to drive with a great engine (2.5TDi 102) - has been pretty meticulously looked after most of its life which says it all.
