What often happens with Canadian cars in km's is that SOME garages will report the apparent reading (in km's) which usually get input as miles incorrectly, and SOME will convert to miles and put in the "actual" mileage! I bet that's what has happened here.

To me it looks like that latest reading is an error. 40k kilometers is about 65k miles in one year - seems unusual, and probably the service station simply screwed up! Maybe they thought they were converting to miles and went in the wrong directing (multipkied by 1.6 instad of divided)?

I wouldn't worry about it really.
