To qualify for Pre-Owned Certification, a Mercedes-Benz vehicle must meet stringent criteria and pass a rigorous inspection.

Inspection Criteria

General
To begin the inspection, a mileage/history verification is performed and owner's manuals and spare keys are assembled.


Engine Compartment and Pre-Road Test Checks
Mercedes-Benz engines undergo all oil and fluid inspections to ensure unmatched performance. Engine, transmission, and rear-axle oil, brake, clutch, and level-control fluid, among others are carefully examined.

Engine Component & System Condition Check
We perform a thorough condition check verification of your engine from filters and plugs to engine mounts and V-belts.


Electrical Systems and Function Test
Everything on the vehicle that takes a charge, from the headlamps, fuses, and radio to the heated seats, front seat-belt presenters, and rear-window sunshade, gets checked and approved.

Undercarriage / Drive Train
We get right underneath the vehicle to scrutinize the steering, suspensions, brakes, wheels, tires, and driveshaft.


Chassis / Body
From body structure to glass, lamp frames, lenses, seat belts, and vanity mirrors, nothing is left out.


Road Test
The road test is conducted firsthand from the driver's seat: instruments, vibration and noise, shift lock operations, and more are all checked.


Post-Road Test
After our test drive, we check for leaks, verify the proper fluid levels, and complete the inspection of the climate control begun during road testing.


Appearance
A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a clean-skinned beauty, as free as dings, dents, rips, scratches, and scuffs as we can make it, with high quality fit and finish, inside and out.

Warranty

Extended Limited Warranty
Additional, affordable coverage that starts when the standard warranty ends.
Every Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) vehicle is covered by the standard MBCPO Limited Warranty -- which now runs for 1 year with unlimited miles, starting when your vehicle's original 4-year/50,000-mile [1].  Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.

So that you can continue to enjoy unparalleled peace of mind when the CPO Limited Warranty ends, our Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Extended Limited Warranty program offers additional coverage for either 1 or 2 years -- now with unlimited miles.

Limited Warranty
Every vehicle is backed by one of the most comprehensive certified pre-owned warranties available -- now with unlimited mileage.

Every Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) vehicle comes with unparalleled peace of mind. For starters, it´s covered by any remaining portion of the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile [2] New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Then, the MBCPO Limited Warranty provides comprehensive vehicle coverage for another 12 months -- now, with unlimited miles. For those MBCPO vehicles that are no longer covered by the New Vehicle Warranty, the MBCPO Limited Warranty takes effect at the time of delivery.

Coverage extends to the engine and powertrain, steering, suspension, brakes (excluding wear of discs and pads), electrical system, climate control system, and more [3].
