Certification Process for Pre-Owned Vehicles at Volkswagen of South Mississippi


When you choose a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen in D’Iberville, you’re not just receiving a pre-owned vehicle – you’re receiving a vehicle that has been carefully examined, tested, and guaranteed by Volkswagen. Volkswagen of South Mississippi offers a strict certification process that ensures every certified pre-owned vehicle is in the best condition possible before it’s offered for sale at our dealership, which means that you can drive off into the sunset knowing that your new ride is in impeccable shape.

Why Certification Matters

Buying pre-owned raises questions: Has the vehicle been well-maintained? Is it reliable? Will it last? With a Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, those questions are dispelled. Every certified pre-owned Volkswagen goes through a comprehensive certification process designed to protect you and deliver the quality you expect from the brand.

Perks of the Certification Process

  • Comprehensive inspection by factory-trained technicians.
  • CARFAX Vehicle History Report for full transparency.
  • Warranty protection backed by Volkswagen.
  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance for added peace of mind.
  • SiriusXM® Satellite Radio trial offer (on qualified models).

Steps to Certification

Step 1: 100 Plus Point Dealer Inspection

Any vehicle that is going to be awarded its certified pre-owned seal is first inspected very rigorously with a 100-plus point check. Our factory-trained Volkswagen experts check comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic areas, including:

  • Engine and Transmission Performance
  • Brake Condition and Stopping Power
  • Suspension and Steering Systems
  • Exterior Paint, Body Panels, and Interior Quality
  • Electrical Systems, Safety Features, and Infotainment

Should any of these fail Volkswagen’s inspection, they are repaired or replaced with Genuine VW Parts. Only then can the vehicle be certified.

Step 2: Vehicle History Report

Every Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen is backed by a warranty. Each Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen includes a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™. This gives you an accurate record of your vehicle’s history, including accidents, prior owners, and service.

That way, you’ll know exactly what your vehicle has been through.

Step 3: Warranty Coverage

All certified pre-owned Volkswagens include model-year limited warranty coverage. Regardless of whether you choose a sedan like the Jetta or a family SUV like the Atlas, you’ll appreciate protection that insures your investment and helps pay for surprise repair costs.

Step 4: Roadside Assistance

When life throws you a curveball, Volkswagen Roadside Assistance has your back. Every Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen offers two years of 24-hour Roadside Assistance, such as flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. Whether you’re in D’Iberville, Biloxi, Gulfport, or beyond our vicinity, you won’t ever be left stranded.

Step 5: Final Approval

It is only after it undergoes inspection, history verification, warranty backing, and registration in Roadside Assistance that a vehicle joins our Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned lineup. That extra layer of protection is why owning a certified pre-owned Volkswagen is different from buying a typical pre-owned vehicle.
