Buying a used vehicle comes with plenty of considerations. Still, with the Nissan Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program, you gain confidence and reliability without the uncertainty of traditional pre-owned cars. Nissan’s CPO Program offers two levels of certification—Nissan Certified Pre-Owned and Nissan Certified Select—each providing extensive inspections, warranty protection, and added benefits. These vehicles are thoroughly vetted to meet Nissan’s high standards, ensuring peace of mind for every driver.
This guide covers everything you need to know about Nissan’s CPO Program, including eligibility, warranty details, inspections, and added perks that make Certified Pre-Owned Nissans a smart choice. Whether you're looking for a nearly new model with long-term coverage or a quality vehicle with essential protections, Nissan has an option tailored to your needs.
Types of Nissan Certification
Nissan Certified Pre-Owned
For buyers seeking a nearly new Nissan, the Certified Pre-Owned designation applies to vehicles up to six years old with fewer than 120,000 km. Each CPO vehicle undergoes a 169-point inspection covering essential components such as the powertrain, electrical system, and interior features. Additional benefits include:
- 72-month/120,000 km limited powertrain warranty
- 24/7 roadside assistance
- SiriusXM trial subscription
- 10-day/1,500 km exchange promise
- Easy financing through Nissan Canada Finance
Nissan Certified Select
If you're considering a slightly older model, Certified Select applies to Nissan vehicles between seven and eight years old with fewer than 160,000 km. These vehicles still pass a rigorous 84-point inspection and include:
- 6-month/10,000 km limited powertrain warranty
- 24/7 roadside assistance
- SiriusXM trial subscription
- 10-day/1,500 km exchange promise
Easy financing through Nissan Canada Finance
Both certification levels provide reliability and affordability, ensuring that your Nissan purchase meets high-quality standards.
