I have a 2005 Thomas MVP FE for sale. It’s located just outside San Francisco California. Here’s a link to my Craigslist ad. If you’re interested shoot me a PM or my number is in the ad.
Your bus has a port that is similar in function to the OBDII port on your car. You can plug a scanner into it and read numerous engine parameters. Mileage is one of those.
It is fairly rare to find a bus of that age with such low mileage. It is quite common to see gauge cluster failure that is repaired by simply replacing the entire cluster, including the odometer. And PRESTO! You have a bus with zero miles.
Unless the engine computer has been replaced (not common) it will show you actual milage.
I have seen a fair number of buses that have hub meters as well. If you have one of these it looks like an odometer in the center of one of the rear wheel hubs.
You have three potential methods of determining milage. The dash odometer is the least reliable of the three.

Thank you for the info !
Is it indeed an OBDII connection ? I have a reader if so.
