Ford Certified Pre-Owned FAQs

​

How Does a Ford Become Certified?

A Ford model becomes certified once it passes a multi-point inspection and a road test. This shows that the model is in great shape and is ready to be driven by a new owner.

A certified pre-owned Ford must also meet certain other requirements, such as being from a more recent model year and within a certain mileage range. Once it is deemed to have met these standards, it earns its certification and is ready to be purchased.

What Are Some Certified Pre-Owned Ford Benefits?

Certified pre-owned Fords come with special benefits that make them an appealing choice. These perks include:

• Comprehensive Limited Warranty
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance
• Complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™

Buying one of these vehicles also gets you FordPass™ Rewards Points, which will come in handy when you’re taking the car in for routine maintenance.

What’s the Difference Between Gold and Blue Certified?

Certified pre-owned Ford models can be identified as either Gold Certified or Blue Certified. This designation determines the model year, the mileage requirements, the amount of FordPass™ Rewards Points you’ll earn, the length of the warranty coverage, and more. Check out the table below for a quick summary:

Gold Certified vs Blue Certified

As for the warranty coverage, a Gold Certified Ford will receive a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, while a Blue Certified vehicle comes with a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty. Gold Certified Fords also have the added bonus of the original 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
