It's not provided, and the hand calculated number isn't fool proof. Many cars have an average speed in the thirty something mph range. My GT3 is also in the 30s for example. What he's saying is that number matches up with reality. If the calculated number resulted in an average of 80mph, then a reasonable person would say that's not reasonable. You could then surmise that the ECU had likely been reset, artificially reducing the number of engine hours, and artificially increasing the average speed.
Edit: and then he applied the average he came up with to the engine time, and came up with the odometer mileage. It's a double check that shows the calculations make sense.

XrussianX clarified his post. And now I want to buy a car from him.

Hi All,
I am in a similar dilemma. I am based in Dubai and have agreed a deal on a 997.1 GT3 - The car has 91,000 km and the PPI report shows zero over revs in any range. The engine hours is 2004 which is consistent with average speed of 46kmph (28mph). The car is in good condition with wear on alcantara and gear **** consistent with mileage. The car has been babied by the current owner and one before him, but I cannot get hold of first 2 owners (4 in total). What are your views? I am assuming the above rules out a DME change or reset?
Thanks
