You're right. To be fair, 16,000 miles is still over half way round the world, even if it's done over 13 years. My motorbike definitely didn't look brand new at 16,000 miles. It looked well used, so if it any of the 5 previous owners weren't the Star Wars Collectibles mint-in-original-packaging type then it's inevitably going to pick up a few scratches here and there.
Also a lot of/probably nearly all of the high mileage cars have had crap-loads of stuff replaced over their life times, where as this might be 16,000 miles of factory original parts. Whether or not that matters to you is personal preferences. It obviously matters to someone otherwise they wouldn't be worth more.
A 13 year old car that just needs the steering wheels replaced and is otherwise completely original is actually pretty good, isn't it?
