To qualify as a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz each vehicle must meet stringent criteria including a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, a 6 model year/75,000 mile eligibility limit, serviced according to maintenance schedule, and pass a rigorous 165+ point inspection. But that’s not all! Enjoy unlimited miles of fun, because every Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz is covered by any remaining portion of the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Then, the CPO Limited Warranty provides comprehensive coverage for another 12 months with unlimited miles. This means up to 5 years of unlimited mileage coverage!
