Somebody could be operating locally. I know cars where a high mileage has been put on in the first three years but somebody living next door might have very low mileage. It is the same with taxis, some of which operate very locally.

Taxi drivers who are pushing on in age may not want long routes. That should be factored in.

Going back to the buses which are taken out after 12 years, is account taken of mileage?
