    Will look into any small leaks too. Fixed an issue with one of the toilets shortly after we moved in, so will check the other one in case there is a 'silent' leak.
    A lot of modern toilets and cisterns don't have the traditional overflow pipe. On older types, if the cistern overfilled because of an incorrectly set or broken float valve, the excess water poured out of a pipe to the outside and was pretty noticeable. Now, the excess water falls into the toilet bowl. As Ant555 said, this might be slight enough that the flow isn't audible or visible, but running all day would consume a lot of water, certainly enough to give you the sort of usage your meter is recording.
