So it is the car that is doing this and not the driver!!!!
To take a large motor like ours with only a few hundred miles on the clock up to the rev limiter is certainly not the way to run them in properly and will undoubtedly shorten the life of the motor.
As Richard Wood has said above, it will take several thousand miles to run them in properly and this is done by not letting them labour but also not screaming the bowels out of them.
I have never found it necessary to take mine up to the rev limiter, but perhaps I drive mine like a grandmother.
IMHO whoever does this does not have much appreciation for things mechanical.
Well when the rev limiter is around ~4200, it's not very hard to bump up against it.
I certainly don't make a habit of wringing the snot out of it with only 500 miles, but it's not hard at all to get to 4200 when passing someone given the useful range is 3-4k. I don't find it a big issue, and not something that worries me...
