Mine had been on the lot for a few weeks and had about 30 miles on it. If you're not ordering a car, it's going to have been at the dealer a short while and in most cases (not all) will have a few miles on it. No big deal IMO.

It also didn't have the 19" wheels but they swapped them out with the wheels on the Ibis white S4 they had on the lot.

I'd be more concerned with getting the price you want versus if it's been on the lot a while. Just my $.02

seriously though. 12 miles on the car? It probably hasn't been there very long (and it doesn't sound like it's been driven at all). If it's configured the way you want, just buy it. I wouldn't even ask about the battery.
