A Certified Pre-Owned Nissan can be a smart middle ground between a brand-new vehicle and a conventional used car. Buyers in Tulsa can compare inspection standards, limited-warranty benefits, and vehicle-history information before choosing.
TL;DR
Nissan Certified gas-powered vehicles generally qualify when they are up to six model years old, have fewer than 80,000 miles, and complete Nissan’s 167-point inspection. The program includes a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, measured from the original in-service date; consult program terms for exclusions and other benefits.
What Does Nissan Certified Mean?
Nissan Certified is a manufacturer-backed used-vehicle program with model-age and mileage limits, an inspection process, and coverage documentation. Nissan also offers other certified programs, including EV Certified and Certified Select, with different eligibility and benefits.
Always confirm which program applies to the car you are shopping and review current Nissan Certified inventory.
The 167-Point Inspection
Nissan’s program requires a comprehensive inspection of qualifying gas-powered vehicles. Areas include major mechanical systems, brakes and steering, safety-related equipment, appearance, interior functions, and road-test items. Reconditioning is performed as needed to meet program standards.
Ask to review available inspection and reconditioning records for the individual VIN rather than assuming all used Nissans have passed the process.
Understand the 7-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Warranty
For eligible Nissan Certified vehicles, the manufacturer describes a seven-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, whichever comes first, counted from the original new-car in-service date and total vehicle mileage, not seven additional years from your purchase date. Covered components, deductibles, and exclusions are defined by the warranty booklet.
It is not the same as an all-component bumper-to-bumper warranty. Review covered powertrain components and ask about optional extended coverage before purchasing.
Other Benefits and Vehicle History
According to Nissan, qualifying Nissan Certified vehicles include roadside assistance and a one-year prepaid maintenance benefit for the first year of CPO ownership or first 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. Other benefits may vary by program and eligibility. Ask for the vehicle-history report and clarify what it does and does not verify.
