Does this 2006 Hyundai Tucson have genuine mileage?

What is the likelihood of a 2006 Hyundai Tucson having 75,000 miles on it with only two owners? At 25,000 miles the front struts replaced and lower control arm bushings were replaced.

Is it something you are considering buying? Dealer or private party? (A dealer selling a car this old is suspect, possibly a BHPH lot.) Purchase price?

It doesn't seem very likely, but it is possible if previous owners didn't drive much. More typically a 16-year-old car would have double that mileage. A Carfax report might reveal actual mileage history.

More problematical is that it is a 16-year-old Hyundai. Granted Hyundais of that time period were not as bad quality-wise as they are today, but needing struts and bushings replaced at 25,000 miles is a red flag. (People I know who own Hyundais from the mid-2000s typically went 100,000 miles or so before needing that kind of front end work.) Might be due to a serious accident.
