Speedo drive is more than likely broken

Is it still counting the miles?

It is still counting them yes but only at the rate of 10mph like the speedo.. I did a 14 mile round trip today and it only registered 4 miles as the speedo doesnt go past approx 10mph

electronic speed sensor fault, on older MK2s its on the gear box on newer MK2b cars its taken off the ABS wheel speed sensor.

because you're not saying you have any ABS sensor faults/warning lights i would suggest the problem is on a gearbox speed sensor

i too vote for speed sensor failure
Normally the PS light will come on too - but i guess the car thinks it is still working....

A scrappy replacement should work fine - its a single bolt/nut to remove IIRC
i think you may need to drain the g.box too....
