Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Requirements

Not all pre-owned cars that are traded in or sold on our lots near Santa Clarita are sold as certified pre-owned. There are many requirements that are needed to qualify. If you’re still confused about what certified pre-owned means for vehicles, check out the requirements below:

  • Model Year: Each car must be a newer model year. If the vehicle exceeds a certain model year, then the vehicle is disqualified from being a CPO vehicle.
  • Miles: Each car must have fewer miles on the odometer. This ensures that the vehicle’s engine is worn and can still perform
  • Vehicle History Report: Each car must have a thorough and satisfactory vehicle history report, proving that the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual was followed.
  • Inspection: A Kia-certified dealership must perform a multi-point inspection for quality. This is to ensure that the various performance components of the vehicle are fresh and free of damage.

Benefits of Owning Certified Pre-Owned Cars

There are many benefits that come with owning a CPO vehicle. While there are some people who don’t like used vehicles because they see it as driving some else’s miles, there are actually many benefits that you can get, including:

  • You can buy with confidence knowing that your vehicle has been inspected from top to bottom by a certified expert.
  • Every CPO car comes with a comprehensive warranty package to protect your investment.
  • A certified pre-owned warranty from Kia comes with Kia CPO program benefits (roadside assistance, transferable warranty, etc)
