Used Car Warranty

Every Chorley Group vehicle is guaranteed a minimum three month warranty, a full HPI history check and delivered with a nine month minimum MOT Test as standard. We offer the ability to upgrade your used car warranty to 12 or 24 month warranty.

Our used car warranty covers your used vehicle in the event of a sudden or unforeseen failure of a warranted part, except for failure caused by wear and tear, normal deterioration or negligence.
