Why are there kilometers on a new vehicle?

Discover why new Ford vehicles typically show some accumulated mileage. Learn about the various factors, from factory quality checks to dealer logistics and demonstration drives, that contribute to mileage before you take delivery.

It is common for all new vehicles to have some accumulated mileage upon delivery. The exact mileage can vary, and several factors contribute to this. These may include essential quality checks performed at the assembly plant, the necessary movement of vehicles during transportation from the assembly plant to the selling dealership, or trades between dealerships to fulfill specific customer requests. Additionally, mileage can accumulate from thorough quality checks conducted at the dealership during pre-delivery inspections, or even from brief demonstration drives offered to previous customers at the selling dealership.
