If a vehicle doesn’t meet our strict criteria, we won’t certify it. It’s that simple.
Each vehicle must pass a rigorous 169 point-by-point inspection by Ford factory-trained technicians. Only those vehicles that pass can become Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.
Each Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle also undergoes a comprehensive mechanical reconditioning process during certification. To ensure the highest standard of quality is met, only new, Genuine Ford, Motorcraft® or Ford-authorized replacement parts are used during this reconditioning.
The 169-point inspection is divided into the following areas:
1. Ensure that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on vehicle and paperwork match
2. Recalls (OASIS) performed (including software updates for hybrid)
3. Vehicle History Report obtained
4. Scheduled maintenance performed
5. Vehicle has emissions sticker (applicable States)
