What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean?

Pre-Owned Vehicles

 

If you are in the market for a new-to-you car, you have likely heard the term, “Certified Pre-Owned.” So, what does Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) mean? If a used vehicle receives a certification from its manufacturer, it means that you are getting as close to a new model as possible. Read ahead to learn how Mercedes-Benz certifies their pre-owned vehicles, and then contact Performance Mercedes-Benz with any questions you may have.

Mercedes-Benz Certification Process

When you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle, rest assured that your car has undergone an intensive 166-point inspection process. A Mercedes-Benz vehicle only qualifies for the Mercedes-Benz Star Certification Warranty after it passes the inspection. In addition, a CPO Mercedes-Benz vehicle ensures that you enjoy the benefits of owning a brand-new model. Here are a few of the inspection points:

  • Exterior: The exterior inspection includes a detailed inspection of the vehicle structure, Mercedes-Benz factory windows, external cosmetic examination, Mercedes-Benz approved tires, and 50%+ life on brake pads and rotors.
  • Interior: The interior undergoes a complete inspection of all interior materials, features, and functions.
  • Service History: The service history inspection includes a complimentary CARFAX vehicle history report, six model year/120,000-kilometre eligibility limit, assurance that proper services have been performed according to the maintenance schedule, all recall services completed, and engine functionality is verified.

Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Additional Perks and Incentives
