How important are the JDM miles clocked?

[Teekay]

Hi, looking at Japanese car auctions, it seems that car with higher mileage loose value very rapidly as can be seen from screenshot below.

 

I personally have an average build JDM with 100K to clock and runs like new, and has never let me down. I really wonder if the 100K plus miles Alphards/Vellfires JDM should be be avoided?

 

Cars with motorway miles in Europe are usually ok. Wonder how the miles clocked on Japanese roads compare? Or is it a very subjective question?

 

I am basically thinking instead of buy a low miles, high auction grade, older model vs newer car with higher miles and similar auction grade.
