certified pre-owned
Inspected used vehicle
Certified pre-owned describes used goods—almost always vehicles—that have been inspected and refurbished to meet manufacturer standards, then sold with a warranty.
The designation signals higher quality than typical used items and commands a premium price: We bought a certified pre-owned Honda with 30,000 miles.
Often abbreviated CPO.
