there's quite a few cars here that have genuinely done 15km per week their whole life... I looked at an audi q3 a couple of years back that was a 0 owner 7 year old car with under 4000kms on it and service records every 6 months that stacked up. but they seemed to want to ignore it being 7 years old despite the short journey wear and tear and the 7 years of climate attacking it and wouldn't take a sensible price.
I wish they'd just leave the mileage alone... 120k kms really isn't that much but its as high as I've ever seen an odometer here!
Sure, that is very possible too. I bought a 5 year old car that had 17,000Km on the meter. After we fixed the deal I couldn't buy it right away, had to arrange parking (my spot was rented out, hat to get it back, then vacation). Anyway, after I got 6 weeks later or so It just added the drive to me. No other driving.
Problems started later. The tires got hard and started to disintegrate. Large parts of rubber flow away, you know, those parts you see frequently on tolo highway. Various rubber gaskets broke. Just be aware when you get a very low milage car.
Generally, WYSIWYG and I wouldn't believe anything the sales people tell you. Hence 28car etc. is basically same. Or you go directly to place that have a good name that they don't want to lose, maybe Zung Fu or similar.

Now who is trolling here?
I've owned a few cars in HK, most of them second-hand. I know a few good mechanics and spoken to many dealers. I know what I am talking about. Not all cars in HK are clocked. Not all mechanics refused to check the mileage. Could many cars be clocked? Sure. Could a lot of the mechanics refuse to check the validity of the mileage? Sure. But not in all cases.

Another important trick I discovered in the UAE is to check the tires looking for the manufactured date, All tires will have them. Tires are usually replaced after 50k kms. So for example a two year old car should have the original tires. Check the date on the tires
