Is 49 kilometers on a new car normal?

49 kilometers on a new car is normal. Before leaving the factory, manufacturers typically drive the car a certain distance on specialized testing tracks within the factory premises—sometimes a few kilometers, sometimes several dozen kilometers. This is mainly to inspect the overall assembly of the vehicle. If any issues are found, the car will be readjusted until it meets the required standards. This process is also known as factory inspection. Visually inspect the car's paint surface: Check for any scratches or wear on the paint. Observe under ample sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the doors and adjust them to different angles to allow light to shine from various directions, ensuring the sheet metal is smooth. Check the vehicle's identification plate: The car's identification plate is located on the driver's side door or in the engine compartment. Pay attention to the manufacturing date of the vehicle; generally, if it exceeds six months, it can be considered a stock car. Inspect each piece of glass: Also, check the production date of each tire to ensure none have been replaced after the car left the factory. Look for the presence of tire hairs and any obvious signs of wear.
