You can use a label if you want,

try with

=STR(m.Year) + 'Auto Mileage'

however how did you define the variable m.Year ?

so try it with

=TRANSFORM(YEAR(DATE()))+' Auto Mileage'

or if it is not a variable but a field than you should get year from your

reportcursor and in that case use a textbox
