It is normal for a new car to have 11 kilometers on it. Before a new car arrives at the dealership, it must undergo short-distance driving during processes such as factory release, transportation, and movement. Although there is no explicit regulation, typically, a new car with less than 15 kilometers is considered a "zero-kilometer" new car. When picking up the car, pay attention to checking the production date: Open the engine hood and check the production date to see if it is too far from the pickup date. A smaller gap may indicate less movement. While the movement from production to sales is unavoidable, a smaller gap between the production date and pickup date reduces the likelihood of the dealership tampering with the odometer. When picking up the car, pay attention to checking the tires: Inspect the tires for completeness. Tires are a relatively straightforward way to check. If a new car has been used excessively, the tires will show significant wear, and the tire hairs will not be as intact as on a new car. In severe cases, the tire hairs may be completely worn away, and there may be visible damage on the tire surface.
