What Makes a Ford Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Different?

Pre-owned vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, and not every pre-owned vehicle is the same. A Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle has strict eligibility requirements and must undergo a rigorous inspection before receiving certification. This means that when you purchase Certified Pre-Owned at Doug Henry Ford of Ayden, you are not just buying a vehicle, you are buying peace of mind.

Some of the key eligibility requirements are:

  • Age & Mileage Limits: Must be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles.
  • Clean History: Every candidate must pass a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report review.
  • Ford-Backed Inspection: Each vehicle undergoes a 172-point inspection performed by factory-trained technicians.

The 172-Point Inspection: Where Confidence Begins

Ford’s inspection is as thorough as it gets. Our certified technicians examine every inch of the vehicle.

  • Powertrain Components: Engine, transmission, and driveline performance.
  • Braking System: Pads, rotors, and hydraulic function.
  • Steering & Suspension: Smooth, safe handling checks.
  • Exterior & Interior Quality: Paint, upholstery, and feature functionality.
  • Electrical Systems: Battery, lighting, infotainment, and safety tech.
  • Road Test: Ensuring comfort, performance, and reliability under real-world conditions.

If something doesn’t meet Ford’s standards, it’s repaired or replaced with genuine Ford parts before certification.

Each Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with warranties that exceed the standard coverage of a pre-owned vehicle:

  • Comprehensive Limited Warranty: Coverage on over 1,000 components for 12 months/12,000 miles.
  • Powertrain Limited Warranty: 7-year/100,000-mile coverage from the vehicle’s original in-service date, backed by Ford Motor Company.
