Age and mileage requirements for CPO certification vary by manufacturer and the specific vehicle. Volkswagen and other brands we carry have their own standards for what qualifies as CPO-generally newer models with moderate mileage, but exact limits depend on the brand.

This means you're getting a relatively recent vehicle with predictable wear and performance history. Our team can tell you the specific age and mileage of any CPO vehicle you're interested in.
