THE FERRARI APPROVED CERTIFICATION: MAXIMUM SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND

Nestled in Maranello, Italy, at the heart of Ferrari's heritage, and at authorized dealerships worldwide, a tradition of excellence is upheld through the Ferrari Approved Certification program. Ferrari’s long history of dedication to the highest standards is a testament to the Prancing Horse team's commitment to providing an exceptional experience for Ferraristas.
 
Ferrari Enthusiasts can take comfort in knowing that the meticulous standards set by the Ferrari Approved Certification ensure that every pre-owned vehicle meets the marque's uncompromising quality. This provides a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a Ferrari with the confidence of impeccable maintenance and performance.
 
The Approved pre-owned certification program reflects the marque’s unrivaled standards through an intricate inspection process that guarantees the ultimate satisfaction for the programme’s customers. Pristine Ferrari vehicles have now become more accessible through the Ferrari Approved Certification program. But before these pre-owned vehicles are made available to the public, they have to undergo a rigorous process comprising a series of wide-ranging checks and numerous guarantees that have been approved by the parent company.
 
 

Technical Inspection

To ensure that any pre-owned Ferrari is operating at standards comparable to a brand-new vehicle, the local Ferrari dealership starts by implementing a detailed technical inspection of each and every car. This is carried out by a team of highly skilled Ferrari technicians who have undergone extensive training at Maranello in Northern Italy, the home of Ferrari.
 
Maintenance History Verification
 
One of their very first tasks is to verify the origin and maintenance history of these vehicles to ensure they have been properly taken care of and have no major accidents in their service history.

Preparation

 
These technicians painstakingly prepare both the exterior and interior of each car to ensure that every aspect of the vehicle is in top condition, a fastidious process which enables them to provide a guarantee for the cars of up to 24 months.

Individual Checks

If you are wondering how thorough these inspections are, all in all a total of 190 individual checks are carried out before a used Ferrari may be bestowed with an Approved "license".

Primary and Secondary Checks

This detailed examination includes a mechanical operation test as well as a test on the operation of the electrical system. Liquid levels are also carefully examined, as are the state of the suspension, brakes, cooling system, and steering system. These are but a handful of the primary checks implemented on all vehicles. On top of these, secondary checks are carried out on air conditioning, the dashboard, and all safety systems. Operation of lights, wheels, and tires (including tread depth and pressure) are yet more examples of the car’s functional capabilities that are carefully inspected.

Ferrari Standards

All of this takes place in compliance with Ferrari standards of safety, performance, and reliability.

Performance Testing

Once these checks have been completed, seasoned testers put the car through its paces to ensure it is functioning at 100 percent.

Transparent Reporting

Thanks to these detailed inspections, all those who purchase a pre-owned vehicle from an authorized Ferrari dealership will receive a written analysis of all of the tests performed.

Warranty Coverage

The transparent nature of the history of Ferrari Approved models ensures every item of information is verified, and anyone purchasing a Ferrari Approved car will enjoy the benefits of a Ferrari warranty as well, which covers the parts and labour for major repairs.

Unlimited Mileage Warranty

Another benefit of a Ferrari Approved car is that it has an unlimited mileage warranty, except for parts subject to routine maintenance such as brake pads & disks, tyres, and other normal wear and tear.
 
With such a comprehensive certification program being applied, the Ferrari Approved pre-owned initiative guarantees the quality of all vehicles being sold as well as the support required to ensure a positive experience for all owners.
