A good answer

The last reading he wrote down is 153,208, at the oil change on August 29, 2026. No mileage is kept as a record, so this is the newest of a few jotted readings and not today's number; a good answer gives it with its date.

153,208

what was it when I got it

A good answer

118,412 miles on April 17, 2021, in his note of the purchase and on the title.

118,412

A good answer

About 34,800 miles (153,208 less 118,412 is 34,796) between April 2021 and the end of August 2026.

Traps it covers

only_in_note Most of this account is notes, so "only in a note" is the normal case. The ones the questions lean on: previous addresses with dates and old landlords; references, emergency contacts and income; bank routing and account numbers (four bare lines); what the landlord said about the deposit; Miso's chicken problem; where his SSN card and birth certificate physically are; the penicillin rash; his glasses prescription; his rates; the car's oil; the Trek's frame serial; the iPad's serial (a three-word note); and the car's mileage, which exists only as readings jotted in five notes, the newest 153,208 on 2026-08-29.
