Holden Certification

Holden's detailed used car standards are designed to give you added confidence with your purchase decision allowing you to drive away knowing you have purchased a quality vehicle commensurate to its age and odometer reading.

Holden Certified Used Vehicles have to earn our stamp of approval

Each Holden Certified Used Vehicle is subjected to an extensive range of tests before it is certified ready for sale. Each used vehicle is history checked and the vehicle has to undergo and pass a 100-point pre-sale inspection to ensure it is fully operational and mechanically sound. Many good vehicles won't make the certified standard. This attention to detail allows only the best Holden used vehicles to be offered for sale as Holden Certified Used Vehicles.

The reassurance of a 3 Year or 175,000km warranty

Once a Holden Certified Used Vehicle has successfully passed the Holden Certified history check and 100-point mechanical certification test, you can be sure that it offers excellent quality and value for money.

In fact, Holden Dealers are so confident in the Holden Certification process, that participating Holden Dealers will provide each Certified Used Vehicle with a 3-year or 175,000 kilometre Certified Used Vehicle Warranty.

The cover provided will commence at the date of purchase or upon the expiry of any Manufacturer's Warranty or Holden Dealer Statutory Warranty provided with the vehicle and cease after 36 months from that date or after the vehicle has travelled 175,000 kilometres since manufacture, whichever occurs first.

The Holden Certified Used Vehicle Warranty provides a maximum claim benefit for any one repair due to failure of a covered part of up to $1,000 and offers an unlimited number of qualifying warranty repairs throughout the term of the warranty in the event of mechanical failure.

Regular Servicing

Regular servicing maintains your vehicle’s mechanical and operational standards.

Buying a quality used vehicle is only part of the equation, maintaining the mechanical and operational standard of the vehicle over its lifetime is necessary for your safety and peace of mind. Therefore, it is a condition of receiving the Holden Certified Used Vehicle Warranty that the selling Holden Dealer providing the warranty, services the vehicle.

In the event the Holden Certified Used Vehicle purchased is still under the manufacturer’s warranty cover, servicing must continue with the selling Dealer in accordance with the owner’s manual, until such time as the original Holden manufacturer’s warranty expires and the Holden Certified Used Vehicles Warranty commences. This will maintain the validity of the Dealer’s own Holden Certified Used Vehicles Warranty when required.
