There’s a certain peace of mind that comes with purchasing a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, thanks to their stringent certification process. That process includes a detailed inspection with exacting standards. We’re highlighting what we look for during our Certified Pre-Owned inspections at Folsom Lake Ford.
Initial Standards
Before we even consider making a vehicle a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, it has to meet our initial criteria. It must be less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. We also carefully scrutinize the CARFAX™ vehicle history report to make sure the previous owner(s) kept up with the recommended maintenance and that the vehicle wasn’t involved in an accident.
Vehicle Exterior
Next, we take the vehicle through a meticulous 172-point inspection. This includes an inspection of the vehicle’s exterior, including its frame, tires, doors, hood, tailgate, windshield, and more. Anything that doesn’t meet our strict standards is either thoroughly repaired or replaced.
Vehicle Interior
We also meticulously examine the interior of the vehicle. This includes a once-over of the vehicle’s cosmetic condition, including its seats, mats, and trim. We also check the functionality of the cabin’s features from its windshield wipers to its infotainment system.
Vehicle Systems
Our under-hood inspection includes checking your vehicle’s fluids, as well as looking for loose seals or leaks. We also inspect the parts under your hood, including your engine, cooling system, fuel system, and electrical system. After the inspection, each vehicle is taken on a road test to inspect the vehicle’s performance and driving dynamics as well.
