Default Car Proof from dealer question / dilemma

We are in the market for a used vehicle, a few years old but hoping for not to many kilometres. So we saw a 2013 with approximately 15,000km on it. We liked it, the dealership has been fantastic to deal with so no concerns there. We were very surprised to see such low km on a 2013. So we are in the process of pursuing it further and we got the car proof claim from the dealer it shows under all records for the vehicle that it was at low 100's for km then the next odometer reading it was 2500km (all on track) then 6 months later it is in the 130,000km mark only to return back to 8,000km about 10 months later.

Dealership claiming the 130,000km recording was probably an error? Should we be worried? And has anyone had an experience like this before or give us any tips? As always thanks in advance, CPuck is always my go to for things like this.

It's probably an error based on the fact it would be the equivalent of driving 700km a day to rack it up that fast. If the car looks fresh, no wear in the interior, original tires for that model, and the paint isn't chipped up, its more than likely fine.

Yeah the car seats, especially the drivers should give you a clue. A 130,000 km car seat is very different than a 15,000 km car seat.
