I’ve never heard of cars in Scandinavia using that measure. Hint: I grew up in Scandinavia in the 80ies.

The Scandinavian Mile[0] exists, but it's not a thing in Denmark - just Sweden and Norway. There is a separate Danish mile, but I've never heard anyone talk about it in Denmark, although you can still find the odd mile stone [1] using a mile that's different to both the Scandinavian one and the UK/USA one.

But yes, using the Scandinavian mile for a car's odometer would be strange even by Swedish standards.

They don't, the odometers measure kilometers. The "mil" (10 km) is simply the smallest distance we care for in terms of a car's state.
