That's less than 100 miles per working day of a month... circa 1600 miles a month, or 83 miles a day... not exactly a lot for dev miles.

It's not a dev car though. The dev car's done loads more than that.

you are joking ?? we are talking super car milage !!! considering av milage for the year is generaly set at 12000 i think 10k in 6 months is pretty good going especialy when you conside 25% of that milage will have been driven on track and another 25% driven by motoring hacks !!!!

not many supercars do that milage in 3 years !!!

Agreed - but development is meant to find problems like suspension blocks that crack, exhaust brackets that fail, wheels that crack, gearbox life issues, overheating requiring shrouds retro-fitted to the radiator, mirror glass that flops about, floors that develop leaks - need I go on.... You would expect that the `development hack` would put on huge mileages compared to the normal use expectations just to find all the issues. The alternative is to let the customer do the development for you which might work with a £50K specialist car but won`t with a £200K model.

Again, it's not a dev car. The dev car's have done loads more than that.

As per Phil's comment - I thought from your inital post it was a development car.
