Odometer Reading?

[sequence]

Many years in the car biz gets me thinking about weird stuff like this (plus seeing pics of the Oxnard VDC.) So now I'm curious about how many miles are racked up between assembly, shipping, prep, and delivery of the average MINI, factory to consumer So......

What was your odometer reading the instant U took delivery of your new MINI? Less than 1 mile? More? A lot more??

Demos (or used) don't count. Thank you for your .02. Jimbo

what truly overwhelming responses (but tks JFS). Guess no one cared aboot how many miles delivery and prep added to their brand new cars.

Mine has 12. Low teens are considered normal, and anything above 20 I'd be suspicious. If your car has more miles it probably means something was wrong and they had to test it out to make sure it was fixed. But it should be fine as I read somewhere MINIs are limited to 25 mph so your engine should be fine even w/ abnormal mileage.

Mine had 5 when I picked it up 2 days ago.

I think I had 11 or so.

I'd have to pull the paperwork out to be sure, but I think it was 7 or 9 miles.

The odometer has between 2 and 4 miles on it before it's installed (to make sure its working) and the the other miles are from driving it off the line, a quick road test and on and off the transport.
