Learn How a Pre-Owned Volvo Gets Certified

You have three options when buying a car: new, pre-owned, and certified pre-owned. Of course, it's always exciting to drive a brand-new Volvo. After all, Volvo vehicles are known for safety, modern tech features, and sustainability. However, for car shoppers on a budget who still want these benefits, certified pre-owned (CPO) Volvos are certainly the next best thing.

Certified pre-owned vehicles from Volvo meet or exceed OEM quality standards at an affordable price. A pre-owned vehicle must pass a comprehensive inspection and certification process to meet the manufacturer's strict standards. In addition, these certified pre-owned vehicles come with limited warranties and complimentary services.

Buying certified pre-owned vehicles can be overwhelming if you are unfamiliar with the certification process and guarantees. But when you understand the certification process for pre-owned Volvo vehicles, there's nothing to worry about. Experts at Berglund Volvo of Roanoke will guide you through the certification process. Our Roanoke, VA, dealership welcomes you to test drive available models when you're ready to purchase.

Certification Process: How Vehicles Get Accepted in the Certified by Volvo Program

Volvo pre-owned vehicles undergo a more than 170-point inspection before becoming certified. During a comprehensive vehicle inspection, our factory-trained mechanics will check all of the vehicle's components, from the engine to the interior. If a component doesn't meet Volvo's standards, we repair or replace it with a genuine Volvo part. At Berglund Volvo of Roanoke in Roanoke, VA, we inspect certified pre-owned vehicles thoroughly and ensure that they are in great condition.

Our vehicles are fully reconditioned to ensure our owners have the best driving experience. Certified pre-owned Volvo vehicles are under five years old and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer, and they come with a one-year/unlimited-mile warranty. Upgrading this coverage to a five-year/unlimited-mile warranty is also possible. Additionally, buyers are entitled to extensive roadside assistance.

Our mechanics inspect and service every component of your vehicle, from the engine to the door locks. We conduct a thorough appearance inspection on certified pre-owned Volvo vehicles to ensure they reflect the luxury and sophistication of the brand. Additionally, Berglund Volvo of Roanoke technicians inspect all VINs on the plates. A clean vehicle history report will also be provided, and we will check the VIN for open service campaigns or recalls.
