Since 1886, Mercedes-Benz has been setting standards for the motor industry, and delivering excellence in everything it does. Today, that same commitment extends to selecting vehicles for its Certified Pre-Owned collection. To achieve the distinction of being called Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned, a vehicle must have an impeccable service history and pass a rigorous multi-point inspection conducted by a factory-trained technician, ensuring that it meets Mercedes-Benz’s unparalleled standards for luxury, quality, and dependability.
But it’s not just the condition of the vehicle that’s like-new. Each Mercedes-Benz CPO car comes with at least a one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty from the manufacturer, so buyers can have the kind of peace of mind that’s typically reserved for new-vehicle purchases.
Best of all, Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned allows shoppers to indulge in the prestige of the three-pointed star while being financially savvy. A Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is still a luxury experience – one informed by over a century of the brand’s commitment to quality, innovation, performance, safety, and design – just at a more affordable price. And for even greater savings, Certified Pre-Owned buyers can take advantage of special APR financing offered by Mercedes-Benz.
For all these reasons, there’s one clear choice when it comes to buying a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz: the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned program.
Only the Best Cars Qualify for the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Program
Mercedes-Benz sets the bar high when it comes to accepting vehicles into its CPO program. To be eligible, a vehicle must be under 6 years old, have fewer than 75,000 miles on the odometer, and have an impeccable service record following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and requirements.
In addition, vehicles must pass a 165-plus-point inspection conducted by a factory-trained technician at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership. This evaluation includes a comprehensive review of the vehicle’s exterior and interior to make sure the structure and appearance meet Mercedes-Benz’s exacting standards. The tech also performs a mechanical assessment, confirming the electrical system and powertrain are functioning as intended. Lastly, the technician takes the vehicle for a road test to evaluate the performance of the steering, brakes, suspension, and overall ride quality.
On top of being thoroughly inspected, each vehicle in the program is fully reconditioned. This process includes completing any outstanding recall campaigns, performing a standard service, and replacing components (including tires) that aren’t Mercedes-Benz-approved.
With a Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle, Confidence Comes Standard
Mercedes-Benz provides exceptional warranty coverage for its CPO vehicles. To start, buyers receive the remainder of the car’s original four-year, 50,000-mile new-car warranty, where applicable. Once that warranty is exhausted, the Certified Pre-Owned limited warranty goes into effect, providing 12 months of coverage with unlimited mileage. Owners can choose to extend the Certified Pre-Owned limited warranty by one or two years with unlimited mileage.
Other perks of purchasing a vehicle through the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned program include 24/7 roadside assistance and trip interruption coverage, which reimburses certain travel expenses if you’ve broken down more than 100 miles from home.
If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your CPO vehicle, you can exchange it within the first seven days of delivery or 500 miles (whichever comes first) for another Mercedes-Benz vehicle, either new or Certified Pre-Owned. You must return your car to the selling dealer and select an alternative that’s of equal or greater value. The customer is responsible for paying the difference in price between the two vehicles, if applicable, as well as any fees that may be incurred.
