Should I be concerned about this carfax?

I was considering buying this TL I found today but the carfax has a suggested mileage problem so I was wondering if I should be concerned.

Thanks!

Looks like it should have been 19,XXX. The rest of the miles on later services seem to support the clerical error.

I figured it was a typo but wasnt sure if I should let it stop me from buying it.

I'm still stuck on WDP vs KBP.... dunno what to get. Wish the wdp bumpers matched better

If you like WDP more, get WDP.

KBP is rare though.

The bumper mismatch is whats stopping me.... It sticks out too much on WDP, or atleast the 2 i've seen in person. I love NBP too but its too high maintenance.

carfax is wrong and worthless as a bargaining tool in this case- its not crashed just clerical
Look at the average yearly miles before and after- then there was 1 year with 10k, then back to 4k a year

19 would have been the next service- probably got oil changes at dealer once a year with low miles driven (older owner?) and those were the reported date-miles

the normal precautions of having a mechanic ck the car over and under for you to be certain not damaged applies to all used cars

Carfax had the same type of error on my wife's Civic we sold. Good thing I had all my service records from Honda on hand. Not sure if you guys have Carproof in the US but it is suppose to be much better.

KBP FTW!

I'll agree with the others that it's most likely a typo. I wouldn't let that alone break a deal if everything else checks out OK.
