There is a big difference between what your company can get from the Client Co in terms of these costs.
it would on the face of it seem like they are happy for YourCo to charge them for any additional mileage you need to do that is over and above what you would normally do to get to normal ClientCo site.
So in your example if you travel 35 mile from your home to Site 2 and normally travel 40 miles to Site 1 they wouldn't expect to pay extra
But there are all sorts of variants that might come in to play here:
a) If you travelled to Site 1 in the morning and then
b) Had to travel to site 2 during the day - They might be perfectly happy to pay YoutCo for 75 miles
c) If you then, during the same day returned to Site 1 they might even be happy to pay YourCo for those 75 miles
d) BUT if you went straight home they might not expect to pay YourCo for the 35miles....
ClientCo will have a rate per mile that they will pay... which may or may not be 45p p/m
There is another can of worms about how YourCo gets it's hands on the money
a) Does it Invoice for the mileage - AND include addition VAT...
b) Do you (on YourCo behalf) enter it into some form of expenses application (and almost certainly NOT include VAT!!!)
But entirely independently of any of the above, and irrespective of if ClientCo ever pay YourCo for any mileage.
You (as a person) can claim your own mileage from YourCo* including the 40 mile to ClientCo site 1, the 70 miles to site 2, back to Site 1 or back to home or whatever.
a) at 45p p/m (upto 10000miles) - without any issues with BIK or tax etc
* Assuming that your normal place of work is your registered office/your house
as you CANNOT legitimately claim for commuting (travel to your normal place of work)
Edit: Some replies written while I was writing are more accurate and helpful than indicated aboveComment

What you personally claim from YourCo and what YourCo charges the client are two separate things. The former is 45p per mile (not plus VAT) and includes everything including going to their normal site; the latter is whatever you agree with them, could be a £1,000 per mile or could be zero (but is +VAT). Even if they pay YourCo £1000 per mile you still only pay yourself 45p per mile otherwise it'll be counted as income and taxed.
A bit brave to ask this in General.Comment

Thanks for all the replies so far. The only thing I need to clarify then is that what my company charges the ClientCo for mileage is completely separate from my personal milage claims against my company. i.e. my company could charge the ClientCo 45p a mile for 500,000 miles a year if it wanted? And my personal claim against my company could only ever be 45p a mile for 10,000 and 25p after that. The two are completely separate?Comment

Ignoring all the obvious complications with this being contract, I think the situation the OP has described is all down to the agreement with the client.
In permie world, its not unknown for the employer to have a similar agreement. The NHS in wales certainly do (for whom my dear wife works).
If its 10 miles from to base then they automatically knock that off the days expenses claim (plus the 10 miles home). So if you go from home to patient A - 5 miles, somewhere else 15 miles, back to base -10 miles, then home 10 miles, total is 40 miles for the day but you'd get paid 20 miles.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

However, payments over the HMRC approved thresholds (which is what you have quoted) is a benefit in kind.Comment
