You’ve likely heard the term certified pre-owned or CPO before, but do you know what that means exactly?

They’re backed by warranties, and they have a lower mileage than other used cars. What does Volkswagen certified pre-owned mean? Learn more about the perks of this program below.

How Volkswagen Vehicles Get Certified

What does the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program mean for drivers in the Chicago and LaGrange areas? It means that you can drive a like-new vehicle in pristine condition and feel confident about your purchase. In order to be considered certified pre-owned, each Volkswagen vehicle must be newer than 6 years old and have less than 75,0000 miles if they’re from 2017 or earlier. 2018 Volkswagen vehicles must have 72,000 miles or less.

What is the certified pre-owned inspection for VW, and what does it involve? Each used Volkswagen must also go through a 100+ point inspection that includes:

• An engine check for issues like trouble starting, vibration, or knocking
• A transmission check for performance issues, noise, or malfunctions
• A brake test for stopping distance, vibration, and proper function
• A steering test for pulling, vibration, effort, or noise
• Updated required or recommended services and maintenance
