Mark Perry, Citroën's approved used programme manager, explained: ‘The original Citroën Select Approved Used Vehicle Programme covered high-quality Citroën vehicles of up to seven years old. Following feedback from the Citroën Select dealer network, we are pleased to announce that we are extending the programme to cater for Citroën vehicles up to 10 years old or 100,000 miles. It is important to note that we have retained the same Citroën warranty for vehicles up to 5 years old.
‘Uniquely, these cars and vans come with our own Citroën warranty that provides more comprehensive cover than the insurance-backed used vehicle warranties offered by other manufacturers. The Citroën Select Approved Used Vehicle Programme is a national scheme with some 150 Citroen dealers who are now able to cater for most customer budgets with quality used vehicles from nearly new to 10 years old.’
