Certified Pre-Owned Mazdas at Keffer Mazda

Keffer Mazda Explains: How a Pre-Owned Mazda Is Certified in Huntersville, NC


There are three types of vehicles on the market: new, used, and certified pre-owned (CPO). While it’s always enjoyable to drive a brand-new Mazda with all the latest tech and features, sometimes, it won’t be feasible with your budget. For shoppers who need to consider their budget but want to enjoy the perks of the latest model, a certified pre-owned Mazda is an excellent alternative.

Buying a certified pre-owned Mazda has many benefits, however, it can be confusing and hard to appreciate if you’re not familiar with the certification process and the guarantees included. You don’t have to worry, as Keffer Mazda will guide you through the process. Whether you’re looking for a new or used vehicle, you’re welcome to test drive a Mazda vehicle at our dealership in Huntersville, NC.

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned – Certification Process

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must meet high standards right from the start. To qualify, a pre-owned Mazda must be a late-model vehicle with low mileage. It should be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles. In addition, it must contain only genuine OEM Mazda parts.

Our team of certified Mazda technicians will inspect pre-owned Mazda vehicles that meet these requirements. For your peace of mind, we conduct a 160-point inspection to ensure the vehicle meets our high standards of quality. A thorough inspection involves assessing acceleration and braking, inspecting the exterior for cracks and bumps, and testing all electrical systems to ensure optimal performance.

To qualify for the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned status, the vehicle must pass all of these inspections.

Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda

When you purchase a certified pre-owned Mazda, you will receive extended warranties and other perks that give more assurance in buying a pre-owned vehicle than a regular used vehicle. There may be no inspection reports or warranties on the latter. A certified pre-owned vehicle may be more expensive, but the assurances and warranties it comes with make it a smarter choice.

Comprehensive Warranty. Certified pre-owned Mazda models come with a limited warranty that covers both the vehicle and its powertrain. There’s a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty coverage and a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The latter covers repairs and maintenance on engine components, from the flywheel to the thermostat and constant velocity joints.

Roadside Assistance. Complimentary 24-hour Emergency Roadside Assistance is included in every certified pre-owned Mazda. It covers buyers and qualified family members for seven years or 100,000 miles. Roadside assistance services include lockout assistance, jump-starts, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and towing assistance.

Zero Deductibles and Free Transfer Benefits

If a covered part needs repair or replacement, you won’t have to pay anything out of pocket. Additionally, if you plan to sell your vehicle in the future, you need not worry about transfer fees. Both the limited vehicle and powertrain warranties can be transferred to the new buyer at no cost to you.

Free AutoCheck® Vehicle History Report

Every certified pre-owned Mazda vehicle comes with an AutoCheck® vehicle history report and Experian’s three-year Buyback Protection.
