If the Hyundai is less than 6 years old, then it’s bound to have less mileage, which is also a plus. No Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned will have more than 80,000 miles. So to recap, a Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned is a newer model with fewer miles. But what else? Well, the Hyundai must also pass a 173-point inspection to qualify, even if it meets the year and mileage requirements. This inspection checks out all mechanical, safety, interior, and exterior parts of the vehicle. Once the Hyundai passes the inspection and meets all of the program standards, it is then classified as a Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned.
