Yay, it's been confirm my new factory ordered car will be made on the 27th July and i was told to expect delivery for the 1st September. My question is how many delivery miles should i expect on the clock and also how mileages does it take to break it in?

There is no hard answer for this but I would be very suspicious of a car with only 2 miles on the clock! That meant it hasn't been PDI'ed correctly!!
Expect to see at least between 5 to 10 miles on the clock, official policy puts delivery mileage at less than 100.
I remember when I was with VAG and the official policy there was to reset the clock to zero for the customer which meant your VAG car could have already covered some mileage you would have known nothing about it....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

Ours had less than 20, but was still reading in km when we picked it up 2 weeks ago....
Again it was taken for fuel before being handed over.
Interesting comment on the 'broke in'... Are you saying that the car is already run-in during the build/delivery process? Can I safely take the engine above 4k rpm now that it's exceeded 500 miles?

Mine was 4.....drove it briskly for 500 miles or so, and then got the quickest 0-60 out of it when the mood takes my fancy.....
Enjoy!
