Hello,

what was mileage of your brand new unregistered Land Rover?

My MY11 has about 30 kilometers on the odometer.
Most of other cars in my dealer's showroom has about 30 kilometers too.

I have some quality issues with my new MY14 Freelander. For example all of 5 doors had to be fitted again by authorized panel beater. And that's not all. After first fixes I remembered as new it has about 80 kilometers of mileage - in my opinion higher than usual. I am wondering if It could be related... What was your LR mileage?

Best regards MY2011 TD4 S Manual
MY2014 Si4 HSE Auto

MY14 mine had 6 miles on the clock. Which is 9.6km. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Mine had 11 miles Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

in the UK 5 to 7 miles is the norm.

any more and you need to ask why?

may have been used to give potential customers a short test drive, etc or driven somewhere for bodywork repairs, etc

My current Disco had 10 I think, can't remember the rest.

It depends how close the dealer is to a fuel station also. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

My D4 had 7 miles on at collection.

Mercedes sent my wifes new car to the supplying dealer from another dealer by road with driver and not on a trailer.

Was not a happy bunny but having got a massive discount off list sometimes you just have to go with with the flow. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

yes I'm sure I seen him pass me on the A1.
I was doing 85mph and he passed me as if I was standing still

On the phone as well I think as we found he had Bluetoothed to cars system . Saved us running it in with all those miles on the clock

Joking apart Merc were as it had a recall on the air bag, just a matter of a bolt going into your throat and killing you. Not done on pre delivery and was known about by Merc and DVLA (Worldwide problem and on many makes). Hundreds of new cars running around like it in UK and no one calling them in and still something to ask about if buying certain Mercs or other cars that are around 2 years old now.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

we have a notion for an SLK ( new ) to replace our MX5 this year, but it appears mercs are not what they used to be?

Iain

Mercs are definitely NOT what they used to be back in the good old days although they do seem to have got over the recent bodywork maladies of the late 90's / early noughties. Far too complicated and too many things go wrong - OK if it's under warranty I suppose!
In answer to the mileage on a new Land Rover I'll answer that when I have saved enough to buy one in a few years time!!

Our SLK 200 auto is doing fine but its only moving 5K a year and using Winter tyres in the colder weather. Air scarf and heated seats a boon as for the rest of the options not really needed in my opinion. Tip - Took my own very good oil for the first service to keep costs down.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Picked up a new V6 Vectra with 13 miles on the clock, "I hope that's not a bad omen" i said to the salesman, 2 years later it was wrote off......

Land Rover deem up to 150 miles is acceptable delivery mileage on a new car! But then again, so do Vauxhall, Audi and VW. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
