About Nissan Certified

Certified Pre-Owned vs Used

Simply put, a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a used vehicle that's been inspected and reconditioned but still covered with a limited warranty and purchased from a dealership. Buying certified pre-owned vehicles can be less risky than buying non-certified or privately sold used vehicles, which may not have undergone any stringent certification process.

The Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program

Two Types of Nissan Certification

Nissan now offers two ways to buy a pre-owned Nissan with confidence. Both Nissan Certified and Certified Select come with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™, a guaranteed trade in and 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of its respective warranty. **

Nissan Certified and Certified Select Inspections

All Nissan Certified vehicles must pass a 167-point comprehensive inspection. This inspection must be completed by a Nissan-trained technician. A CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ is provided along with a complete Nissan service history review. All reconditioning must be done with Nissan-approved parts. Only upon completion of this rigorous inspection process can it be labeled a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

Certified Select cars, which allow for increased inventory with a wider range of models, years and mileage pass an 84-point inspection conducted by the same Nissan-trained technicians.
