Volkswagen Approved Used enhances car programme

Volkswagen has enhanced its Approved Used car retail scheme to include two years of warranty cover, MOT and roadside assistance to customers.

As of November 1, VW franchised car retailers' ‘2+2+2’ programme will includes two years’ warranty cover, two years’ MOT, and two years’ roadside assistance with each Volkswagen Approved Used car sale.

Two years of free servicing will also added for any Approved Used vehicle purchased using a Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) Solutions Personal Contract Plan.

Speaking at the official launch of the new programme, Barny Francis, national used car manager at Volkswagen UK, said: “This major development of the programme further affirms Volkswagen’s commitment to all of its customers, of both new and used cars, and its confidence in its diverse range of quality, dependable models.”

The exisiting bundle includes: a 142-point check on each vehicle; a 30-day / 1,000-mile no quibble exchange policy, service history checks, independent vehicle history and mileage checks and five days of complementary Volkswagen Drive Away insurance.

The new package of benefits doubles the warranty, roadside assistance and MOT cover terms of those offered previously.

Volkswagen said the addition of the features is the ‘most significant’ change to the scheme since its launch in 2011.
