Delivery Mileage

[matchboy]

How many miles on the clock would you expect your new car to have when you take delivery?  Just a couple ie. to fill the car up?  My mk 6 had 19 - they told me at the time this was normal but looking back that seems like complete b0llocks, right?

Mine had about 25kms (15 ish miles)

My MK6 had 7 miles, Mrs's Polo had 9 miles. Her current Mini Cooper had just 4 miles on it, and took 3 weeks from ordering a factory build to collection at the dealer.

My mk6 had 14 miles on when i picked it up but tbf the nearest petrol station is a good 3-4 miles plus road test so ithought it was ok, i was worried when i thought my mk7 was going to be sat at the dealer for a month or two that it might be used as a demo but i was assured it wouldn't but it will prob have 20+ miles on!!   I've told the dealer already that as i'll now be picking it up asap after it arrives it better have sub 20 miles on or i'll be kicking up a fuss!!

Anthything under 30 miles isn't abnormal. I've had between 4 and 26 miles on each new VW (6) that i've had.

Well the nearest petrol station to my dealer is literally round the corner, so 19 miles seems excessive!  I understand giving it a quick run but ill be asking it has <5 miles as anything else is is a p!sstake.

I think 30 miles is a bit excessive, why would it need to have that many on? Can't do more than 5 being moved from production line to dealership?

I always think new cars with higher mileage have had a problem either at the factory QC dept or at the dealership and they've had to repeatedly test until fixed. Or they've damaged bodywork/paint and need to go to fro from the bodyshop.

My current car had 11 miles on the clock. I would say anything under 20 is about acceptable

When Merylee motors gives me Craigw car for a loan till mines ready, ill try not to put too many miles on..
