Nissan Approved Used Standards
The Nissan Intelligent Choice programme sets clear standards for every car that comes through the scheme. To be considered for certification, a car must be under eight years old with fewer than 100,000 miles on the odometer.
Every qualifying car then goes through two comprehensive checks. First, an independent background check confirms the car is not stolen, has no outstanding finance, has never been written off, and that its Vehicle Identification Number matches DVLA records. Then Nissan-trained technicians carry out a multi-point inspection of the exterior and interior, engine, transmission and suspension, electrical system, brakes, and more, finishing with a road test and a summary of the inspection.
Only the very best cars receive the Nissan Intelligent Choice seal of approval, so you can enjoy much the same peace of mind as when you buy new.
What Does Nissan Approved Used Mean?
Nissan Intelligent Choice is Nissan's own quality-assurance scheme for pre-owned cars. It's built around a single idea: that buying a used Nissan should carry much of the same reassurance as buying new.
Here's what comes with every Nissan Approved Used example in our stock:
| Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| Multi-point inspection | A thorough check and road test by Nissan-trained technicians |
| Independent background check | Confirms mileage, finance, write-off status, and that the VIN matches DVLA records |
| Manufacturer-approved warranty | Minimum 12 months on cars up to three years old, or six months on cars aged three to eight years |
| 12 months' roadside assistance | Included as standard, with continuous cover when serviced at a Nissan dealer |
| MOT Care | On cars over two years old, cover towards repairs if the car fails its next MOT |
| EV battery guarantee | Cover to replace any part of the battery causing capacity loss below nine bars out of twelve |
| 30-day exchange promise | Exchange for another approved used car of at least equal value within 30 days or 1,000 miles, T&Cs apply |
| Vertu 14-day money-back guarantee | Exchange or refund if the car doesn't meet your expectations within 14 days |
Approved Used vs Standard Used Nissan: What's the Difference?
All of our used Nissan stock goes through a thorough preparation process. Our colleagues inspect and prepare every car before it's offered for sale, so you're always buying a vehicle that's ready for the road.
The Nissan Intelligent Choice programme goes a step further. It adds Nissan's own standards on top: the independent background check, the multi-point inspection and road test by Nissan-trained technicians, the manufacturer-approved warranty, MOT Care, and the 30-day exchange promise.
For buyers who want the reassurance of Nissan's own sign-off, Approved Used stock is the clear choice. For buyers who simply want a well-prepared, fairly priced used Nissan, our wider used stock delivers that too. Either way, our colleagues will talk you through every option.
