I’m thinking of purchasing a used Volkswagen privately. What warranty is included?

If you purchased your Volkswagen privately, the vehicle will come with the remainder of its Volkswagen New Vehicle Warranty from when it was purchased new. This is transferable at no cost by completing the Ownership Amendment Form.

If I purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen from a Volkswagen dealer, will it include a warranty?

Just like the experience of buying new, a minimum of 1-year warranty is included on every Volkswagen in the Certified Pre-Owned Program. So, you can be rest assured knowing that if the unexpected happens you’ll be covered. For more information, please visit Certified Pre-Owned. The Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty commences either at:

  • The conclusion of the New Vehicle Warranty (if the Certified Pre-Owned vehicle was still within the New Vehicle Warranty at the time of purchase), or
  • At the time of the Certified Pre-Owned vehicle purchase (if the Certified Pre-Owned vehicles’ New Vehicle Warranty had already expired).

If your Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen has any remaining Volkswagen New Vehicle Warranty from its time of purchase, the Certified Pre-Owned Warranty will add an extra year of coverage on top of the New Vehicle Warranty cover.

If I have a warranty issue I need to fix, what should I do?

When a warranty repair is necessary under your New Vehicle Warranty, please contact your local authorised Volkswagen dealer as soon as possible. All authorised Volkswagen dealers are able to carry out warranty repairs on all Volkswagen vehicles. All warranty defects must be reported to an authorised Volkswagen dealer as soon as possible and before the New Vehicle Warranty has expired.
