Ford Approved Used Cars for Sale

'A sensible car needn't be a boring car' is an ethos that seems to run through the core of the Ford range – from the Fiesta to the Focus, Puma to Kuga and Mondeo to Mustang – they're all great to drive. 

They're also a great ownership proposition. Parts are cheap and thanks to a sprawling network of dealerships, a Ford service centre or showroom will never be far away, so you'll have great access to Ford's Approved Used scheme – but what actually is it and why would you buy a car from it? Keep reading to find out.

Benefits of a Ford Approved Used car

• Two schemes to choose from – Ford Direct and Ford Approved Used
• Each Ford Approved Used car comes with the balance of the Ford warranty
• Ford Direct cars have two-year, unlimited-mileage Ford warranty
• All Ford Direct cars are two years old or newer, with a maximum of 24,000 miles
• Verified vehicle history and mileage check
• Full service history on both schemes
• 30-day exchange plan on both schemes
• Car is inspected by Ford-approved technicians
• Ford Used Approved cars have 12-month Ford roadside assistance
• Ford Direct cars have two years of roadside assistance with European cover

What warranty do Ford Approved Used cars come with?

One of the biggest selling points of the Ford Approved Used scheme is that all cars come with a warranty – they all have the balance of Ford's new-car three-year warranty that covers everything except wear and tear damage. Ford Direct cars have a two-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.

Is there MOT cover with Approved Used Fords?

Unfortunately, there's no MOT cover on approved used Fords. 

Is there an inspection with Approved Used Fords?

Yes, there's a 75-point inspection that should catch any glitches before you buy your Approved Used Ford.

Do Ford Approved Used cars come with a history check?

All Approved Used Fords have an independent mileage check, are clear of any outstanding finance and have a full main-dealer service history.  

Is there an exchange policy with Approved Used Fords?

If you're not happy with your Approved Used Ford, you can exchange it within the first 30 days/1000 miles of ownership – whatever comes first – for a car of the same value, or pay the balance on a more expensive model. The car needs to be in the same condition as when you bought it, though. 

Are there any extras included with Ford Approved Used cars?

There are a few other advantages that might lure you into buying an Approved Used Ford over a car that isn't on the scheme. For starters, you get drive-away insurance that lasts three days – so you can take the car and deal with the insurance when you get home – and you get a year's roadside assistance so you won't be stranded if your car does have a problem. This covers Europe as well as the UK.

Which Ford is right for me?

Whatever your needs, there should be a Ford vehicle to suit. The Ka+ city car is relatively cheap but well-equipped, the Fiesta is a smart and modern small hatch that is good to drive, and the Focus is similarly good fun with added space and sophistication. There are five MPVs to choose from, ranging from the smallest B-MAX and C-MAX to the full-size S-MAX, while the range also has lots of SUV-crossovers, from the smallest EcoSport through the Puma and Kuga to the Edge. As well as the popular Mondeo hatchback and estate, there are also more niche vehicles such as the sporty Mustang and Ranger pick-up. If you're after an electric car, try the Mustang Mach-E.

What are the most popular Ford cars for sale?

The Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus continue to be among the best selling cars in the UK, while the Ford Kuga is another popular choice, especially among family buyers.
