Shopping for a pre-owned vehicle can feel like a gamble, but Nissan Certified Pre-Owned removes the guesswork, and Middletown Nissan sees firsthand how much peace of mind it brings buyers like you. Every Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is held to rigorous standards before it reaches the lot. Here's what makes the difference worthwhile.

A 167-Point Inspection Before It's Certified

Every Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle must be under six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles to even qualify. From there, a Nissan-trained technician runs it through a 167-point inspection covering the engine, transmission, and electrical systems. Anything that doesn't meet Nissan's standards gets repaired or replaced with genuine parts before certification.

A Warranty That Actually Follows the Car

Once certified, the vehicle carries a seven-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty starting from its original in-service date. That coverage is fully transferable, so it still holds value even if the vehicle changes hands again. A complimentary CARFAX® vehicle history report is included too, giving you a clear look at the vehicle's past.

Everyday Perks That Add Up

Nissan Certified Pre-Owned buyers get prepaid maintenance for the first year or 15,000 miles (whichever comes first), plus 24/7 roadside assistance for the length of the warranty. Towing assistance is included as well, so a flat tire or dead battery never turns into an expensive tow bill. These extras make owning a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle feel a lot like owning a new one.

Choosing a pre-owned vehicle doesn't have to mean choosing uncertainty, and Nissan Certified Pre-Owned proves it every time. The inspection, the warranty, and the added perks all work together to protect the investment long after purchase.
