When i recieved my Exeo it was on 50miles exact.
Is this normal? or is someting dodgy going on?
The only time I've ever had a brand new car (company car Mundaneo) it had 40 something miles on, while my work colleagues car had 6. I guess it does depend on whether it's been carried from the production line to your door, or whether it's been driven by one of those blokes you normally see standing on the road with an oddly shaped forehead. I was once told that it's some sort of numberplate to say that they're legit, but it always seems to be on the top of their head....
Some cars have the ability to reset the clock once, I think it's up to 100 miles or so?

im way past the 100miles already!
Mine had 31 on it when I received it - although it was delivered to my front door by the dealer who is 10 miles away. So would have had 21 on it had I picked it up myself.
Pretty normal I'd say.

It arrived on a transporter!
Don't forget that the car is normally driven from the factory into the compound, then on to a lorry, then on/off the boat etc etc.....
Mine had 24miles on the clock when I picked it up ;)
