OMSP – lies, damn lies

OMSP here referring to open market selling price. I was just checking how the OMSP would be affected by adding tens of thousands of miles to something like a BMW 5 series. The amazing thing is that this nasty, uneuropean? and ultimately duplicitous tax doesn’t seem to be altered by adding 50,000 miles. Now, anyone who’s ever bought a car knows that one with very low mileage is generally going to be more expensive than one that’s got 70k+ on the odometer. Can someone please tell the Revenue or are they just trying to make an unfair system even more unfair?
