Summary
The Porsche Certified Pre-Owned program, known as Porsche Approved, allows you to purchase a pre-owned Porsche with added confidence. Every eligible vehicle undergoes a comprehensive 111-point inspection and includes a 24-month Porsche Approved warranty along with 24/7 roadside assistance. Repairs are carried out to Porsche standards with genuine parts, which provides more peace of mind than with a typical used vehicle.
What is the Porsche Approved program?
Porsche Approved is the brand's program for Porsche certified pre-owned vehicles, or in English, Porsche Certified Pre-Owned. It governs the selection, inspection and coverage of eligible Porsche models to offer a more reassuring purchase experience than with a regular used vehicle.
What does the program include?
The Porsche certified pre-owned program selects used vehicles that meet Porsche quality standards. Each eligible model is put through a comprehensive 111-point inspection, prepared according to the manufacturer's requirements and accompanied by a Porsche Approved warranty as well as roadside assistance.
The goal is to offer a used Porsche whose condition, history and operation have been thoroughly verified. This way, your pre-owned vehicle aligns with expectations for the luxury brand.
Which vehicles are eligible?
A Porsche may be eligible for the Porsche Approved program if it is 13 years old or less (from first registration) and shows fewer than 200,000 km. It must also pass the 111-point inspection, present a compliant maintenance history and be reconditioned to factory standards, without modifications not approved by Porsche. The Porsche Approved warranty therefore provides added peace of mind.

Porsche Approved or a regular pre-owned Porsche: what are the differences?
A Porsche Approved vehicle offers coverage and inspections overseen by the manufacturer, unlike a regular used Porsche, whose warranty and preparation vary by seller.
Peace of mind
A Porsche Approved vehicle is inspected and prepared to Porsche specifications. The buyer benefits from a vehicle whose condition and program eligibility have been verified rigorously.
Warranty
The Porsche Approved warranty covers the vehicle for at least 24 months, with no mileage limit, according to program conditions. A regular used Porsche may be sold with shorter protection or without comparable warranty coverage.
Resale value
Certification, documented history and warranty can reassure a future buyer and support the vehicle's appeal at resale. This is even more true if you follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and keep all your invoices.
