When you’re shopping for a used Volvo, it helps to know that you’re not just buying a vehicle—you’re investing in peace of mind. That’s where the Volvo CPO warranty comes in.
With one of the more generous certified pre-owned programs in the market, Volvo delivers extended coverage and added protection that can make ownership feel a lot more like driving a brand-new car.
Montrose Auto Outlet knows how important it is to know exactly what kind of warranty coverage you’re getting. In this article, we’ll walk you through what’s covered, what’s not, and what makes Volvo’s certified program stand out.
What the Volvo CPO Warranty Covers
Every certified pre-owned Volvo comes with factory-backed warranty coverage that extends for five years from the vehicle’s original in-service date. That coverage begins from the day the car was first sold as new and offers unlimited mileage during that period. If any of the new car’s limited warranty remains, it’s transferred over, and the CPO warranty picks up where that ends.
All covered repairs are performed by Volvo-trained technicians using genuine Volvo parts. That means you don’t have to second-guess the quality of service or the replacement components. This warranty is designed to protect against defects in materials or workmanship that come from the original manufacturing process.
Another advantage? There’s no deductible when your repair qualifies under the CPO warranty. That takes the guesswork and extra costs out of getting your vehicle serviced when something goes wrong.
The Certification Process Matters
Before a vehicle qualifies for the CPO program, it must pass an extensive inspection that includes over 170 checks. That inspection evaluates everything from mechanical components to interior cleanliness.
Any item that doesn’t meet the standard must be repaired or replaced using approved parts. On top of that, each vehicle’s history is reviewed to rule out major accidents or damage.
This attention to detail is a key part of why the CPO warranty is so valuable. It’s paired with vehicles that have already been put through a strict quality control process.
Added Perks That Come with the Warranty
Volvo also includes complimentary roadside assistance for the full duration of the warranty. That means you’re covered in the event of a flat tire, dead battery, or lock-out. It’s a thoughtful inclusion that brings added peace of mind, especially for drivers who spend a lot of time on the road.
You also get the benefit of warranty transferability, which can be a selling point if you decide to pass the vehicle on to someone else. The remaining coverage moves with the car at no added cost. This makes your Volvo more appealing on the resale market.
What the Warranty Doesn’t Cover
While the Volvo CPO warranty is comprehensive, it doesn’t apply to everything. Routine maintenance items—like oil changes, filters, and brake pads—fall outside of the warranty coverage. These are expected to be the owner’s responsibility as part of normal wear.
Cosmetic issues, damage caused by accidents, and any modifications made to the vehicle are also excluded. Additionally, wear-and-tear components such as tires and wiper blades are not included.
