Ford Certified Pre-Owned Information

Ford CPO Program

There are added benefits to choosing a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle over a used Ford vehicle. With Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, peace of mind comes with a 172-point inspection, 24-Hour Roadside Assistance, vehicle history report, powertrain limited warranty and comprehensive limited warranty coverage.^*

172-Point Inspection

If a vehicle doesn't meet our strict criteria, we won't certify it. It's that simple. Find out what we check during the rigorous process of certifying a pre-owned vehicle. It's a meticulous process backed by Ford Motor Company.

Warranty Coverage

Every Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty coverage* including more than 500 components PLUS 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty coverage.^*

Powertrain Warranty

Peace of mind comes standard on every Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle since each includes 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty coverage,* backed by Ford Motor Company. Areas of coverage include the engine, transmission and more.

Our manufacturer-backed limited warranty is fully transferable to future owners at no cost, a resale benefit that can be transferred from owner to owner.

For extra peace of mind, 24/7 roadside assistance (towing, jump starts for dead batteries, flat-tire changes on-site, and lockout services) is included for the duration of the powertrain limited warranty coverage.

Want additional coverage? Ask your dealer about Ford Extended Service Plans. Service available at any Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership nationwide.

Vehicle History Report

Feel confident when you get behind the wheel of your Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle with this informative, full history report.

Not every vehicle can make the cut as a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. To even be considered for certification, each Ford must be less than 6 model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer.

In addition, you can view the actual Vehicle History Report for a specific vehicle by simply searching our current inventory now. Or ask your dealer for a copy when you arrive at the dealership.

After a vehicle has been determined as eligible in terms of age and mileage, an independent third-party vehicle history report is run to identify any vehicle that does not meet our strict standards. The report is run as a part of our 172-point inspection process, and it includes checks for:

Flood Vehicles
Fire Damage
Frame Damage
Salvage Vehicles
Branded Title
Odometer Issues
Accident History
Vehicle Title History

Low Cost of Ownership

Let's say you find a "deal" in the paper on a used car model you've had your eye on. One with a price too good to pass up; so instead of getting a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you buy something else. But did this vehicle include a rigorous 172-point inspection? A vehicle history? Comprehensive and powertrain limited warranties? 24-hour roadside assistance and other benefits? It doesn't take long for non-covered repairs and other expenses to eat away whatever money you saved. When it comes to long-term total cost of ownership, Ford CPO vehicles might well end up costing you less. Maybe a lot less. And it's hard to put a price on the peace of mind that comes with driving a vehicle inspected and backed by Ford.
