>>All sort of stuff can get in when you are changing lens.

I understand but the very first picture I took with the camera had the
spots on the sensor.  They weren't well defined enough to affect the
picture but they are definitely there. As I mentioned, I didn't notice
them before because they were against a cluttered background. I don't
change my lenses in a clean room but I think it unlikely that I spat
anything into the camera the very first time I put a lens on it.

I'm not especially bothered by this as it's about time for a sensor
clean anyway but it does look as if the sensor had the spots on it
before I bought it.
