I've bought a car described as 'used' with less miles on the clock! The
explanation is that it was registered to Toyota UK, and used on a static
display.
On the other hand, I took delivery of my RS6 with over 50 miles on the
clock - the reason being that all RS6s were road tested by the factory,
which involved being driven around a 30 mile set route on public roads.

Re: new car odometer
I think 'newness' is indicated by whether or not the car has been
registered to a private owner (versus the dealer), not the number of
miles on it. So, a car could have 1000 miles on it and never have been
registered, and considered 'new', but another car could be driven off
the showroom floor with 10 miles on it, and be considered 'used' once
it is registered to a private owner. That's how they can sell demo's as
new cars (although I think dealers may now put them into their CPO
programs in some cases).
