What is Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz?
With every Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz comes peace of mind, because every MBCPO vehicle is backed by one of the most comprehensive pre-owned vehicle limited warranties available. Â
For starters, any remaining portion of the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile* New Vehicle Limited Warranty applies to the vehicle. After that, Mercedes-Benz CPO Limited Warranty provides comprehensive vehicle for another 12 months, or up to unlimited miles.* For those MBCPO vehicles that are no longer covered by the New Vehicle Warranty, the MBCPO Limited Warranty takes effect at the time of delivery.
This coverage extends to the engine and powertrain, steering, suspension, brakes (excluding wear of discs and pads), electrical system, climate control system, and more.**
* Whichever comes first.
Customers may also add an additional 12-24 months of warranty to the vehicle
** Please see your Mercedes-Benz Dealer for a copy of the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty.
All Mercedes-Benz vehicles must meet specific, uncompromising criteria and pass a rigorous inspection. ÂÂ

Engine Compartment and Pre-Road Test Checks
Mercedes-Benz engines undergo all oil and fluid inspections to ensure unmatched performance. Engine, transmission, and rear-axle oil, brake, clutch, and level-control fluid, among others are carefully examined.
We perform a thorough condition check verification of your engine from filters and plugs to engine mounts and V-belts.
Everything on the vehicle that takes a charge, from the headlamps, fuses, and radio to the heated seats, front seat-belt presenters, and rear-window sunshade, gets checked and approved.
We get right underneath the vehicle to scrutinize the steering, suspensions, brakes, wheels, tires, and driveshaft.
From body structure to glass, lamp frames, lenses, seat belts, and vanity mirrors, nothing is left out.Â
The road test is conducted firsthand from the driver's seat; instruments, vibration and noise, shift lock operations, and more are all checked.
After our test drive, we check for leaks, verify the proper fluid levels, and complete the inspection of the climate control begun during road testing.
A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a clean-skinned beauty, as free as dings, dents, rips, scratches, and scuffs as we can make it, with high quality fit and finish, inside and out.Â
