new car is actually a year old - should i be wary?

[glasgowrob]

just bought a ford ecosport for the other half, yes I know spiteful little things but she likes it

now the car is brand new and was registered yesterday but the build date according to ford etis was 26.03.2014

now as far as i'm lead to believe its a model that is in short supply so why would ours have lay around for almost a year?

anything I should be looking at in particular when I pick it up its just an ordinary specced car with nothing unusual (the only option on these seems to be the 2 trim levels and optional parking sensors atm )

Some "new" cars are a lot older than that, don't worry.

Bear in mind a good month or two of that time will be taken up by it sitting on a boat from India.

What did the dealer say when you asked them?
