When you opt for a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at Fields Mazda of Asheville, you’re getting a car from the cream of the crop of the pre-owned Mazda inventory. To understand the value of earning this designation, it’s important to know the strict Mazda Certified Pre-Owned requirements that every vehicle must meet before earning this status. This is an overview from the team at Fields Mazda of Asheville.
Strict Age and Mileage Criteria
Not every pre-owned Mazda model is eligible for the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned program. The first restriction is based on age and use. A vehicle must be a late-model Mazda, less than six model years old, and have been driven fewer than 80,000 miles. This ensures that the program begins with a selection of newer and well-maintained vehicles.
Clean Vehicle History Report
Transparency about the vehicle’s past is also important. Every potential Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle undergoes a thorough review of its history using a vehicle history report such as AutoCheck®. The vehicle must have a clean title and cannot have any major issues like salvage or flood damage in its history.
Rigorous 160-Point Inspection
The core of the certification process is an extensive 160-point inspection of the vehicle. It is completed by a Mazda factory-trained technician, and it covers everything from major powertrain and chassis components to brakes, interior features, and exterior condition. This inspection ensures that the vehicle meets the high standards set by Mazda.
Reconditioning with OEM MAZDA Parts
If any component fails to meet the strict standards during the inspection, it will be replaced with an OEM Mazda part. This guarantees that the vehicle’s performance will be to the manufacturer's specifications. Vehicles repaired using aftermarket parts are not worthy of the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned moniker.
