Is 30 kilometers on a new car's odometer normal?
2 Answers
30 kilometers on a new car's odometer is normal. The functions of the car dashboard are: To reflect the working conditions of various vehicle systems; to provide drivers with necessary operational parameter information; to display the vehicle's operating status, speed, fuel level, whether doors are closed, etc., thereby enhancing driving safety. Dashboard classifications: Dashboards can be categorized by form into screen-type, frame-type, channel-type, and cabinet-type dashboards. Different cars may have different instrument panels, but generally, conventional car instruments include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge.
Oh, I understand your concerns. A new car's odometer showing 30 kilometers might seem a bit high, but it's actually quite normal. I often follow automotive trends, and new cars undergo performance tests before leaving the factory—like braking and acceleration—where manufacturers typically drive them dozens of kilometers to verify quality. 30 kilometers is quite low; generally, anything under 100 kilometers is still considered new. Additionally, during transportation, the car needs to be moved from the port to the dealership, which inevitably involves some driving. When buying a new car, don’t just focus on the mileage—check for scratches on the paint, tire wear, and whether the manufacturing date is recent. If everything checks out, don’t worry, just drive it! I’ve seen many new cars with similar mileage, and none have had any issues.
