I know that Volvo can at random pick a car off the line to test, but not for 200 miles.

when delivered to the dealer they have 4 miles , PDI accounts for about 5 miles max . ... ask where the extra 190 miles came from ... possibly driven from another dealer for you though .

Sounds like that car has been getting used for test drives on trade plates, I would not buy it as a new car, mine had 7 miles on the clock.

I saw 2 brand new mini coopers today being moved between dealer as they had the white stickers and trade plates. The two drivers were racing and revving the nuts off them... Cooper's Cobham I believe...
