Default Mileage? big or small?

Hi everybody, looking through various posts when people post the mileage of their cars there doesnt seem many below the 100k mark. My `96 N 854 T5 CD has just 41k miles on the clock, do I have the lowest mileage 850 in the world? :D

Happy Christmas :D :D

Our engines seem quite strong and should keep going to high mileages. Be prepared for clutch, turbo, various oil leak problems around the 100k mile mark.

850R saloon with 56800 on it - a large jump from the 25k when I bought it nearly three years ago.
