One thing to consider, is how a Mini is shipped when it leaves the factory. In looking at Google Earth photographs of the factory (Oxford), the docks at Southampton, and Port Hueneme; I'm not surprised by some of the mileage on the cars. Many of the huge waiting areas for the cars are quite a distance from the docks or railhead. I've also noticed in the UK, that old WWII airfields near factories are used for temporary parking of new cars (Not sure if Mini does this). If you look at the Port Hueneme VDC, the car parking must cover several square miles all total, scattered all around.

7 miles.

I bought mine from out of state, so I am sure with truck/train transport a couple of those miles are from moving the vehicle around the various depots.

11 on my new 06 Cooper S (pre-ordered)...

On my 03 Cooper- which I *did* "go to a dealer and just buy off the lot..." 12!? (I had to go look that up just now, and expected it to be much higher!)

9 miles. I accused my MA of joy riding.

The PW MC had 8 miles on it (Fiance's car)

The CR MC had just 5 miles on it (My car).

Of course, she said that was because hers was "cuter" and I said it was because mine was made so perfectly they didn't have to test it as much.

Well, officially (according to the speedometer) it had 8 miles on it, but for some reason, all the paperwork etc. has it at 12...

Mine was around 8 miles. I drove straight home from the dealership, arrived with 40 miles, and immediately put on my new wheels/tires. Over 21K now at 11 months, been a busy year.

Had 12 miles on it when I took delivery. Now has over 2800 after only two months. Just too much fun to drive to leave it in the garage.
