...but what are we actually trying to measure here? The miles travelled, or the wear and tear that's caused by the wheels spinning?

[โ€“] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Mileage by counting the number of rotation of the wheel.

The mileage is a measurement to give an idea of the wear, combined with other information to give a holistic view of the state of the car.
