When it comes to Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, no other brand can guarantee the quality and dependability that Subaru can. Subaru is the only company that requires a 152-point inspection for every used vehicle to get Certified status, and anything that doesn’t meet Subaru’s high standards is either repaired or replaced. Each extensive inspection is performed by genuine Subaru technicians, and they provide the full report for your review—so you can always be one hundred percent sure you and your vehicle are covered. And when we say covered, we mean really covered. In fact, there are some pretty interesting things that made the 152-point list. Check out our 31 unexpected parts of the 152-point Certified Pre-Owned Subaru inspection below.
