Three Certification Levels
Ford Blue Advantage sorts vehicles into levels based on age, mileage and powertrain. Here is how they compare.
Gold Certified
Gold Certified is the top tier for Ford vehicles up to 6 years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. Each vehicle passes a 172-point inspection and carries a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty plus a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Roadside assistance runs for 7 years.
EV Certified
EV Certified covers Ford electric vehicles up to 6 years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. These vehicles pass a 127-point inspection and include a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty.
Blue Certified
Blue Certified opens the door to more vehicles, including any make and model up to 10 years old with fewer than 150,000 miles. Each one passes a 139-point inspection and includes a 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and 90 days of roadside assistance. It is a good fit when you want certified reassurance on a lower-priced vehicle.

What is the difference between Gold, EV and Blue Certified?
