6 miles. I've heard others saying that the dealer needed to put about 8 miles onto the existing 4 miles for PDI, but mine had 6..

Lead Lap
I watched an interesting video on youtube about the Tahara plant in which they said that there is test track there (4 miles I believe) and that 1 in every 5 Toyota gets a quality control test but every single Lexus that gets built gets tested....I thought that was an interesting nugget and explains why we always see a few miles (kilometers) when it arrives at the dealer

drives cars
Every Toyota manufacturing plant has a check road for quality testing. Also factor in the vehicle being driven from the factory to the marshaling yard, the ship, the port of entry, the railcar, the transporter and the dealership lot. It will vary with distance. The lowest mileage i've ever seen on a Tahara built IS is 3 miles.
It also was migrated from Chattanooga, TN to Roswell, GA before I got seat time in it, so seems about right if you include PDI.

@Yaroze86 Cherry Hill Lexus, NJ just reached out to me. LE #002 has been sold (for $6k over). Lowest number not on reserve has been claimed
Wonder if it is VIN 5001126 that's assigned to TMS - LEXUS (VEHICLES) PARSIPPANY NJ that I thought was a Corporate car. Next best candidate would be 5001352. I only see them with one allocation so it odd to say the least. Maybe I need to go back little further that 5001114 and see if I missed one.....
