I'd walk and keep looking. Eventually one will come along with fewer owners and lower miles.

Be patient !

If you don't trust the Carfax, run an Autocheck.

But seriously, why run the report if you are going to second-guess it?

Definite pass.

The car was leased, repossessed, and most likely rolled back. 3 strikes and that car is out.

Good luck explaining the mileage inconsistencies when you to re-sell the car. Pass on this one.

There were several instances of the milage reported; all were increasing and were reasonable. It has been rolled back. That is a huge flag. Unless you want to offer a ridiculously low price and, if you get it, accept there may be some other issues with car, I would walk on this.
