yes there is quality check andQuestion for Ford insiders on the forum.
I went to take delivery on my new Bronco and it has 80 miles on it already. How can that be?
When I was tracking it there was 5 or 6 days between being ābuiltā to moving to āshippingā. I saw a post here about a ton of broncos going to some holding lot so maybe mine was part of that?
āDealer saidā mine got picked out of the line by Ford for quality checks and itās driven for that so it accrued mileage.
I donāt mistrust my sales guy but 80 miles seems a tad excessive. My last 8 new cars have all had under 8 miles on them when I drove them off the lot.
This one is a replacement for the Bronco Ford bought back from me and that one had 36 miles on it and I thought that was a bunch.
Any ideas why so many miles?
yes there are quality checks and yes miles sounds accurate however if they did drive they always ...put a sticker on it saying such ...period mine had 6 and was dropped off in front of me ...i work at the dealer lolQuestion for Ford insiders on the forum.

On the negative side they were working on a malfunction. On the positive side your sales rep is right.Question for Ford insiders on the forum.

Ours showed up with 90 Miles on it. I sat from June thru Dec. Assuming it was QC miles. Didn't like it but not much I could do about it.Mine had ~30 miles on it when I bought it for reference.
There's a Seinfeld episode related to that ... finding stuff in cars.It could be worse.... my 21 Bronco Sport only had a few miles on it but it had water spots on the paint the PDI guys could not get out and it had stripper glitter all over the seats and console.
I had to fix both of those myself.
My current F150 King Ranch had about ~8k miles on it, was a MY16 purchased in 2017, still qualified for a combo rebate / 0% financing plus a deep discount for being a year old demo, was still considered "new" and the official warranty didn't start until I signed the paperwork, and is virtually indistinguishable from a MY17.I once bought a Demo - it had 2,500 miles on it. They tried to tell me it was "new" since it was just a Demo and not a customer sale.
Now, I did end up getting an OK deal on it, just saying - "New" really only applies to the Title history, and not really anything to do with the mileage. But it does affect warranty length and break-in, which the negotiating leverage I used in that particular sale.
