Most of the time, using a career car in arcade mode will not add to the total mileage of that car, but sometimes it does.

I bought a WRX to take some AWD launch photos. The first thing I did was two runs of Goodwood. After that, the car's mileage was 1.2(half of the distance I drove). I did one more run at Goodwood, and the car's mileage was still 1.2, unchanged.

Total player mileage under Stats always increases normally.

Could somebody confirm this so I know I'm not doing something weird?

Edit: After testing, I have found that:
Opening and closing the vehicle settings at the race menu will cause mileage from the previous run to be counted permanently.

So if you open the setting before driving, nothing will happen. If you do a lap then open the settings, that laps mileage will be permanently added to your car.

I will do more testing to see if more than one previous run will be counted

Confirmed that using a career car in arcade mode does increase mileage. I have been doing the same exact thing like you running Goodwood and time trials on SSR5 and I notice the odometer when you look at it in first person cam goes up. I don't know if it stops adding mileage or adds it randomly but it should be one or the other. Adding mileage would make sense because its your own car being driven.
 
The odometer goes up but not permanently. I drove a brand new Charger on a lap around Laguna Seca, and the odometer got up to 4 miles. But when I went back to my garage, it was still at 0.0.

What I need confirmation on is that arcade driving can add permanent mileage to a career vehicle.
 
In my experience it does, but only under certain conditions. If you take select one of your own cars for arcade time trials, the first run (including restarts) does not add mileage. But if you exit the race (just to the race menu not main menu), change settings etc and start again, those miles count.

What I do when I run extensive tests in expensive cars is to do settings on the main menu, enter the time trial, run what I need to, and if I want to change settings I exit to main menu and do so. This way, all my LMPs remain at 0 miles. A bit of a pain but better than paying to restore rigidity.

I do this until the rigidity issue is resolved, as I am not ok with paying 500k every 400kms to keep my cars in top condition.
