What to Look for in a Certified Pre-Owned MINI in Massachusetts

There are many benefits to buying a Certified Pre-Owned MINI, and MINI of Bedford is here to help you on every step of the purchasing process. We’re sharing everything you need to know about purchasing a CPO model, like what details and features to look for when you’re out on the next test drive.

Certification Checklist

The primary factor that sets CPO models apart from pre-owned vehicles is the comprehensive inspection and maintenance checklist. You want to look carefully over the checklist provided by the dealership, to see what services, repairs, and replacements have been done on the vehicle, and to confirm some of those services for yourself.

Vehicle History

While the CPO checklist can provide you with a lot of information about the car, it’s also a good idea to look into the service and accident history of the car. The more comprehensive a service history a vehicle has, the better because it means the car was well-cared for. Don’t worry if a CPO model has a prior accident history. It could be useful for setting aside a future repair budget.

Signs of Rust

You especially want to pay attention to signs of rust in CPO models. Rust can be costly and difficult to repair, and if it wasn’t addressed during the CPO inspection process, it may indicate that it is spreading very quickly. If you notice signs of rust, it’s best to move on to the next model.
