FWIW & IMHO:
Sure would be a concern to me. Any car ever showing a not actual mileage would concern me. Notice that in 6 years the mileage stayed the same. Even stored inside in a user friendly enviorment that thing should squeak noticeqably.
 
It is of concern but it depends on why you are buying this particular car. Some states once a vehicle reaches a given age say 10-15 years or older the title no longer reflects actual car mileage. What I mean is it could have 25,000 actual but if it is sold and the perons checks actual on the title, upon transfer to the new ownerthe new title will read 0 due to its age.

I know MY GN miles are not "accurate" becuase it had the GNX gauges put it so it only reads 7,900 or so now. I dont car becuase the car has been fully redone, and it is what I wanted.

Now if you are specifically looking for a car with low miles you may want to resarch this car more and find out why it got reported as a TMU (true miles unknown)

sometimes if a spedo breaks or does not record for a short period of time it can be branded TMU by an unknwing owner.

Say when they sell it they say it has 19,000 but the spedo broke for a week so really it is more like 19,189, and they check TMU on the title it is now branded for life!!

I hope this helps, I guess it just depends on why you want this car if it matters to you, or if you are paying the $ like its a true low mile car.

Mike
