Is a 5-kilometer new car normal?
1 Answers
5-kilometer new car is normal. Because the new car will generate mileage during factory loading/unloading and transportation to the sales point, generally anything under 30 kilometers is considered normal. Reasons for new car mileage: Usually when a new car arrives at a 4S store, its odometer won't show 0 kilometers. This is because after production, manufacturers have professionals conduct test drives and evaluations to identify potential issues. Additionally, the car will accumulate some mileage during transportation from the factory to the dealership. Other criteria for identifying new cars: Mileage isn't the only standard for identifying new cars. When taking delivery, you should open the engine hood to check the production date. Verify whether there's a significant gap between the production date and delivery date - smaller gaps usually mean less movement. While it's impossible to avoid movement between production and sales, a smaller gap between production and delivery dates reduces the likelihood of dealerships tampering with the odometer.
