The mileage on cars doesn't actually go on the car as they are in factory mode .
Every car where I work has a static test which is rolling road for all 4 wheels . You drive it up to different speeds for so long this alone would add 5-10 miles ., plus a jig for squeaks and rattles plus the test track which again is small I would say about half the size of a football pitch the test track is not a track as such. It has high and low cambers speed bumps , cobbles etc . 1 in x amount go on the dynamic test which is outside the factory
You go on a set route , which will have a mix of driving speeds ,corners to obviously give the car a work out.
It will have gps and someone will be watching the car in the logistics block. So it doesn't accidentally end up in a lorry ,knight rider style. People who drive the cars on site have to have a permit .
There have been cars that have problems that go back on the rolling road to be tested . Testing at 70mph for 5 mins is already 5 miles plus .
In regard to the case of the op , the dealer imo had been naughty which has already been mentioned.
I would complain tbh I think 90 miles is disgusting . Unless He/she was made aware it was a demo .
I said I wouldn't worry in an earlier post because I know that there are more miles on it technically anyway.
