Certified Pre-Owned Benefits

To qualify for Certified Pre-Owned status, each used Ford must be less than six model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Then before Ford certifies any Ford pre-owned vehicle, it must first pass a rigorous 169 point-by-point exam. All Ford's Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with extensive warranty coverage and 24-hour roadside assistance.

169 Point Inspection

If a pre-owned vehicle is less than 6 model years old and has less than 80,000 actual miles on the odometer, then it's eligible to undergo Ford's demanding 169-point Quality Check inspection process. On Ford F-Series trucks and E-Series vans, only vehicles up through the 350 series are eligible for certification; 450 series and higher are ineligible. Anything found to be below standards or deficient is repaired or replaced using only genuine Motorcraft® replacement parts. Only vehicles that pass this rigorous inspection become Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.
