There's been a lot of analysis of Ken Webb's claims, particularly recently. Whilst they can never be categorically disproven, there are a lot of areas where doubt is cast and eye-witness reports from the time that call the claim into question. Webb's responses to these doubts and questions often seem pithy and vague backed up only by the strong assertion that the mileage was definitely done and that people were out to get him.
The claim doesn't really stand up to scrutiny and I'm not convinced it should be afforded much credence.
