Used vehicles are cars that have been tagged and titled by a previous owner. While used and certified pre-owned vehicles both have prior owners, to be classified as a certified pre-owned vehicle, it must meet certain criteria.

With Ford Blue Advantage, they’ve developed a system to classify vehicles into three categories: Gold Certified, EV Certified and Blue Certified. Categories are determined by different factors like the vehicle’s age and mileage.

To qualify for Gold, the Ford in question must not have more than 80,000 miles and be no older than 6 years. Once the Ford passes the 172-point inspection and meets all the requirements, it is deemed a Gold Certified Pre-Owned Ford.

You’ll receive, upon purchasing the Ford, a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty. Also, take advantage of the 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. There’s also a 14-day or 1,000-mile money-back guarantee.

Buying a certified pre-owned Ford also gets you 24/7 roadside assistance and 22,000 FordPass Rewards Points. These points can be used toward your first two maintenance visits.

Thinking about an EV? Buy a certified pre-owned Ford EV and get the same benefits as the Gold Certified level, with one exception. Instead of the 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, you’ll get an 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty. 

For EV models, they must pass a 127-point inspection, while the last of the Ford Blue Advantage tier, the Blue Certified level, must pass a 139-point inspection. This tier also allows the vehicle to be up to 10 years old as long as it has less than 150,000 miles.

After meeting the criteria, you’ll be given a 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and 11,000 FordPass Rewards Points to use on your first maintenance visit.
