The Ford CPO certification process has a rigorous list of requirements. The 172-point inspection includes checking the vehicle's history, putting it through a road test, seeing how the engine runs, and examining the state of the interior and the drivetrain part by part. It needs to have all its original parts or only use replacement parts made by Ford-authorized manufacturers. The model has to be less than 6 years old, and the odometer can't read any higher than 80,000 miles. When you buy a CPO Ford, you know your vehicle has met all these requirements.

Once a vehicle qualifies for Ford's Certified Pre-Owned program, the company provides you with extra warranty coverage. The coverage includes a comprehensive limited warranty for 12 months or 12,000 miles and a powertrain warranty that runs until the car reaches 7 years or 100,000 miles. You can think of this as a continuation of the manufacturer warranty you'd get if you bought a new Ford vehicle. Of course, once this coverage ends, we at Buster Miles Ford will be happy to offer extended warranty coverage.

Ford's limited warranty coverage includes 24-hour roadside assistance. That means if you call the provided number from anywhere in the continental United States, Ford will help you out with towing assistance, rental cars, flat tire changes, gas delivery, jump starts, and travel expense aid. Even if the breakdown has nothing to do with a part failure the warranty would cover, Ford will handle expenses for things such as breakdowns, blowouts, and inclement weather.
