Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Program

There are several reasons to shop Mazda certified pre-owned (CPO) models if you are looking for a used Mazda. You still save money over buying new, but in the process, you get some extra confidence knowing your CPO Mazda is backed by the factory. These are Mazda models no more than 6 years old that submit to a 160-point inspection by a Mazda-trained technician. They also must have a clean vehicle history report. Every CPO Mazda comes with a factory-backed bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, as well as an extended limited powertrain warranty. But, that’s not all. Mazda tosses in a few added-value benefits like 24-hour roadside service and special financing deals.

What We Like

Better-than-average powertrain warranty; no deductible for covered repairs

What We Don’t

No loaner car during covered repairs

Program Specifics

Mazda only considers cars and SUVs that are no more than 6 years old. A factory-trained technician performs a 164-point inspection. Any issues discovered during that inspection are fixed or replaced using factory parts. These Mazda models also must have a clean vehicle history report. Only after Mazda is convinced a used vehicle is in tip-top shape does it certify it. The CPO designation carries with it a 1-year or 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty that kicks in once the original 3-year or 36,000-mile new-car warranty expires. If that warranty is already expired, the CPO warranty begins on the CPO Mazda’s purchase date.

Every new Mazda comes with a 5-year or 60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. Mazda extends that warranty on its CPO models by 2 years or 40,000 miles to a total of 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original new-car purchase date. It doesn’t charge a deductible for repairs covered under either warranty.

Mazda then sweetens the CPO pot by tossing in several perks like 24-hour roadside assistance, a vehicle history report, free transfer of CPO benefits to a private buyer, and a 3-month satellite-radio subscription.
