Commonly Asked Questions
What makes a Ford a certified pre-owned vehicle?
Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicles are meticulously inspected by Ford-trained technicians following Ford Motor Company’s standards. These vehicles must meet Ford’s strict standards, passing a comprehensive inspection and including manufacturer-backed limited warranty coverage. This provides an ownership experience, much like buying new, but with the value of a pre-owned vehicle.
How does a Ford earn the certified pre-owned title?
Ford uses a careful and detailed process to select vehicles for the Ford Blue Advantage program, which includes different levels of certification:
- Gold Certified: Ford vehicles up to 6 years old with under 80,000 miles can earn Gold Certified status. They must pass an exhaustive 172-point inspection by Ford-trained technicians. Any necessary repairs are made using Ford-authorized parts. They also need a clean CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ to be verified.
- Blue Certified: The Blue Certified level includes vehicles of any make or model. These can be up to 10 years old with under 150,000 miles. Each vehicle must pass a detailed 139-point inspection by Ford-trained technicians to ensure quality. Its CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ will also be checked.
