What does Ford certified pre-owned cover in Auburn, MA?
Ford certified pre-owned at Ira Ford Auburn is the Ford Blue Advantage program: each certified vehicle gets a multi-point inspection and limited warranty coverage. The tier sets how new the vehicle can be, how many miles it can have and how long the coverage runs.
The tier you choose decides how the vehicle is inspected and how long its protection lasts, so the tiers are the place to start.

What does the Ford certified pre-owned inspection check?
Every Ford Blue Advantage certified vehicle passes a multi-point inspection before it is sold, and the tier sets how many points it covers. A Gold Certified vehicle must pass a 172-point inspection before it can carry that name (Ford Blue Advantage Gold Certified brochure). Blue Certified vehicles pass a 139-point inspection instead (Ford Blue Advantage).
The tiers also differ in age and mileage. Gold Certified covers Ford models up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles (Ford Motor Company, 2026). Blue Certified vehicles must be no more than 10 years old and have less than 150,000 miles (Ford Blue Advantage). For a buyer, those limits decide which tier a used Ford can qualify for at all.
A higher point count is the bigger check. If you want the longer inspection, ask for the 172-point Gold Certified list. Gold Certified is also the tier with the longer warranty, which the next section covers. A vehicle that does not pass its tier’s inspection is not sold as certified, so the list is an entry requirement rather than an extra.
How long does Ford certified pre-owned warranty coverage last?
A Gold Certified vehicle carries a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, whichever comes first, covering more than 1,000 components (Ford Blue Advantage). On top of that, Gold Certified adds a 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty covering the engine, transmission and more (Ford Blue Advantage).
EV Certified vehicles carry the same 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive term. They add an 8-year or 100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty covering the battery, transmission and more (Ford Blue Advantage). Blue Certified vehicles get a 90-day or 4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, whichever comes first (Ford Blue Advantage).
Miles count as much as months. Say, hypothetically, a Blue Certified buyer drives 4,000 miles in the first 60 days. The mileage limit is reached first, so the coverage ends at 4,000 miles, 30 days before the 90-day date. The same rule applies to Gold Certified: whichever limit comes first ends the term.
What else comes with Ford certified pre-owned besides the warranty?
Certified Ford buyers also get complimentary 24/7 Roadside Assistance, a money-back window and a Connected Services trial. The roadside period runs 7 years on Gold Certified, 8 years on EV Certified and 90 days on Blue Certified (Ford Blue Advantage).
The money-back guarantee runs for 14 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, counted from the original sales date and mileage on your bill of sale. You return the vehicle to the dealer you bought it from (Ford Blue Advantage). Blue Certified buyers also receive 11,000 FordPass/Ford Rewards points (Ford Blue Advantage). Every tier includes a 90-day Connected Services trial period (Ford Blue Advantage).
These extras run alongside the warranty, not in place of it. Each one has its own clock, so check the roadside period, the money-back window and the warranty term separately when you compare tiers.
