The Mini certified pre-owned (CPO) program is a sensible way to go if you are shopping for a used Mini. Providing some of the confidence of buying new while taking less of a hit on your wallet than buying new, CPO is good business. CPO Minis are less than 5 years old, have passed a comprehensive inspection and provide up to 6 years of factory-backed warranty protection. Additionally, these CPO warranties have no mileage cap. Mini also provides additional perks like special factory-sponsored financing and 24-hour roadside assistance.
No mileage cap; 24-hour roadside assistance; no deductible for covered repairs; free scheduled maintenance during the CPO warranty period
$200 fee to transfer CPO coverage to another individual; no loaner vehicle during covered repairs
To qualify as CPO, Mini only considers cars less than 5 years old with fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer. Every CPO undergoes a tough, comprehensive inspection by a Mini-trained technician. Any issues discovered during that inspection are fixed using factory parts.
Mini actually offers two CPO programs for qualifying cars. One adds 1 year with unlimited miles to the original 4-year or 50,000-mile new-car bumper-to-bumper limited warranty when it expires. If the original warranty coverage is already expired, the CPO warranty begins on the CPO purchase date. Mini also offers a second-tier CPO warranty of 2 years with unlimited mileage. The CPO buyer has the choice of coverage length. Cost varies according to the Mini model being purchased. Mini doesn’t charge a deductible for covered repairs.
Moreover, Mini provides other benefits including 24-hour roadside assistance, free scheduled maintenance, transfer of coverage to another buyer for a $200 fee, special factory-sponsored financing, and a 3-months satellite-radio subscription.
The unlimited-mileage feature is a big deal. Very few CPO programs have open-ended mileage coverage. You will discover choosing 2-years rather than 1-year of coverage more than doubles the cost of the CPO program, but it also adds a year to the roadside assistance and free scheduled maintenance. All things considered, the Mini certified pre-owned program is well worth researching. Find a certified pre-owned Mini for sale.
